Norske Skogindustrier ASA, the Norwegian papermaker that hasn’t made a profit in eight years, is betting on an expansion in coated paper used for catalogues and inserts to counter a slump in newsprint and magazine demand. 
The company is converting one of its paper machines at the Boyer mill in Australia to coated paper and is also investing to expand the product range at its Saugbrugs mill in Norway in a move that could see coated paper account for as much as 25 percent of sales in the future, Norske Skog Chief Executive Officer Sven Ombudstvedt said in a phone interview on March 22.
