Although
he is not yet officially the CEO of Catalyst Paper, Joe Nemeth was in Port
Alberni on Wednesday to see how the local operation works.
Last
month, Nemeth was the new president and chief executive officer, but the
position does not come into effect until Oct. 1. With a strong interest in the
pulp and paper industry from a hands-on perspective, Nemeth said it was
important to him to tour the operations and see how they run.Nemeth is originally from Victoria. Although he has visited the Alberni Valley, he never toured the local mill until this week.He left the tour impressed by both the operation and its employees.
