Cascades
has announced plans to install a second paper machine at its tissue mill in St.
Helens, Oregon.
The
project will be realized through the acquisition of the specialty paper machine
previously operated by Boise Inc., which is located adjacent to Cascades'
existing tissue machine. This machine will be reconfigured to produce 55,000
tons of tissue paper annually, bringing the total tissue paper capacity of the
St. Helens' site to 120,000 tons per year, Cascades said.
The
total cost of the project is estimated to be $35 million.
