IP to Produce Fluff Pulp at Shuttered Franklin, Virginia Mill

摘要

International Paper said that it will invest $83 million to repurpose a portion of its closed Franklin, Virginia mill as a fluff pulp mill capable of annually producing up to 270,000 metric tons of high quality fluff pulp for the global market. About 200 jobs will be created at the mill. "IP is currently the third largest global sup- plier of fluff pulp and this investment gives us greater participation in a growing mar-ket," said Mark Sutton, senior vice president Printing and Communications Papers the Americas.
