G-P closes small Crossett machine as IP's big Courtland shuts set for this month, February -1 million tons to retire

摘要

A third uncoated freesheet (UFS) paper machine was confirmed shut in the USA in the last six weeks, after Georgia-Pacific (G-P) this week confirmed the closure of a machine at its Crossett, AR, mill. G-P's shut is part of a massive one-million-ton capacity reduction in the USA over five months that would eliminate 8% of North American UFS capacity.
