Catalyst Paper Changes Focus

A leaner Catalyst Paper Corp. has slashed the amount of newsprint in its production lines and shifted attention to new opportunities, emboldened by a recent contract to supply book-grade paper for a steamy bestseller.
Catalyst Paper now derives just 15% of its revenue from newsprint, 25% from pulp and 60% from specialty papers. This compares to the 2008 revenue breakdown of 25% from newsprint, 21% from pulp and 54% from specialty papers.
