Financially strapped MRC idles Natchez mill for the second time this year

摘要

Mississippi River Corp (MRC), hampered by a liquidity freeze after its bank entered Ch 11 reorganization, idled its market deinked pulp (MDIP) mill for the second time this year on Feb. 1; contacts told PPI Pulp & Paper Week. Sources said the firm has recently run the 144,000 tons/yr mill intermittently on a "tolling" basis to pro- vide MDIP for International Paper (IP), its largest customer.
