Norske Skog has shut down PM 2,
a newsprint machine at its Tasman mill in Kawerau, New Zealand. The unit closed
as scheduled on January 9.
The site's PM 3, which like the
decommissioned machine can produce 150,000 tonnes/yr of newsprint, is still in
operation. PM 2 will remain onsite, but its closure is planned to be permanent.
