Norske Skog Plans Newsprint PM Closure


Norske Skog Tasman Mill in Kawerau faces an uncertain future as the company looks to cut costs.
The mill's 300 employees were told yesterday that the company proposed to close down one of the pulp and paper mill's two paper machines.
A statement from management said the mill needed to "reduce capacity by 150,000 tonnes in the face of declining global and regional demand for newsprint".
