Newsprint machine at Norske Skog Golbey down for 3 weeks

摘要

One of two newsprint machines at Norske Skog's Golbey mill in eastern France was down for around three weeks. A company spokesperson informed EUWID that a fatal accident had occurred at the site during maintenance work. Production of PM 1 was stopped on 6 February and resumed on 25 February. The machine has a capacity of 250,000 tpy of newsprint. The spokesperson said the company had planned a stoppage to carry out maintenance work due every ten years. Operations were supposed to be restarted in the second week of February, but the downtime was prolonged due to the accident. The accident victim reportedly was an external worker. The maintenance work had now been postponed to September, EUWID was told.
