Tembec announced the successful startup of the new tertiary refiner
line at its high yield pulp mill in Chetwynd, BC. The installation of
this equipment will increase production by 10,000 ADMT. The capital cost
of the project was less than $1 million.
"'The increased capacity as a result of this startup will
enable us to meet the growing demand for our product in the
marketplace," said Yvon Pelletier, executive vice-president and
president of the Pulp Group. "As a global leader in the high yield
market pulp sector, we are continually improving our operations to
ensure our competitiveness and ability to meet market demands."
Tembec is a large, diversified, and integrated forest products
company with operations principally located in North America and in
France. It is one of the world's leading market pulp producers.
This optimization will raise the total capacity of the company to
approximately two million tonnes.
