The kraft pulp mill across the Rainy River in Fort Frances, ON, could have a buyer, according to a report this week in the Fort Frances Times.
Possible Buyer
The mill had previously been closed permanently in May by owner Resolute Forest Products, which followed a January announcement of an extended period of market-related outage on its remaining paper machine. The kraft pulp mill and another paper machine have been idled since November 2012.
Wednesday, the Times reported municipal representatives met with Wisconsin-based Expera Specialty Solutions, which reportedly has signed a letter of intent with Resolute Forest Products.
