Wood Supply Alloted

AbiBow Canada's mill in Fort Frances has secured a new wood supply from the province.

General Manager for its Ontario operations Roger Barber says they'll receive 317-thousand cubic metres of wood annually.

"It includes merchantable softwood fibre for our pulp and paper facility," says Barber, "as well as unmerchantable fibre that will become biomass as a feed stock for our biomass boiler."

Barber says the supply provides the mill with more long term security and a better fibre cost structure.
