PCA To Convert D3 To Produce Containerboard At Louisiana Mill

摘要

Lake Forest, Illinois based Packaging Corporation of America reported that it will not convert the idled No. 2 paper machine (D2) at its DeRidder, Louisiana mill to pro- duce containerboard. Instead, PCA will convert the No. 3 newsprint machine (D3) at DeRidder to containerboard, producing lightweight linerboard and medium, and exit the newsprint business. The D3 machine will continue to produce newsprint for PCA customers through mid-September 2014 at which time it will be shut down and converted to containerboard production with an anticipated start-up by November 1,2014.
