AbiBow slates newsprint downtime, restarts PM at strike-hit Ponderay mill

摘要

With North American newsprint consumption weakening and both mill and publisher inventories growing, AbitibiBowater demonstrated this week that it will back its talk of balancing newsprint supply and demand with action. The company confirmed yesterday that it plans to take two weeks of market related downtime later this month at two East Coast newsprint mills, one in Canada and the other in the US.
