Paper Machine Keeps Going

A paper machine at the AbitibiBowater mill in Fort Frances that was to shutdown at the end of October is being allowed to continue at least until the middle of December.

The extended operation of machine number six was identified in court documents filed last week as part of ongoing monitoring of the company during the creditor protection process.

A recent increase in customer orders is allowing the AbitibiBowater to continue operating the machine for up to an additional six weeks.
