Domtar on March 27 closed the
sale of certain of its Port Edwards mill assets in Wisconsin to DMI
Acquisitions, LLC of Columbus, Ohio.
The sale includes all the
remaining assets on the site, but does not include the adjacent hydroelectric
facilities on the Wisconsin River that Domtar will continue to own and operate
to provide power to its Nekoosa, Wisconsin mill.
Domtar closed the Port Edwards
mill in mid-2008. At that time, the mill had the capacity to produce 165,000
tons per year of uncoated freesheet paper and employed about 500 people.
