IP Schedules Downtime Maintenance


International Paper Company, a world leader in pulp, paper and paperboard production, has scheduled the fourth quarter of this year to perform major maintenance activities at four of its U.S. mills. IP plans call for preventative maintenance, major repairs and overhaul, and equipment replacements at mills located in Eastover, South Carolina; Augusta, Georgia; Pine Hill, Alabama; and Cantonment, Florida. The combined expenditure of maintenance-related activities at the four mills is estimated to cost more than $20 million, and includes repairs to paper machines, pulp and stock processing equipment and boilers.
