Paper Machine Goes Down

A paper machine at the Resolute Forest Products mill in Fort Frances, restarted earlier this summer, has been shut down again.

Production of machine number 7 came to an end Monday, impacting about 50 to 60 workers who were called back to work.

Company spokesperson Xavier Van Chau says the closure was not unexpected.

Chau says when the machine came back online, there was an understanding it would only operate temporarily and cease production before mid-December.

There are no current plans for a restart.
