Pair of Paper Excellence machines curtailed until May 2 | Paper Excellence, shutdown,

POWELL RIVER, B.C. (From news reports) - A pair of paper machines at Powell River's Paper Excellence Plant mill be shut down for the next two weeks.

Paper machines 10 and 11 will be out of operation for two weeks, starting April 19.

Paper Excellence's vice president of environment, health, safety and communications Graham Kissack said that the curtailment is a result of weak orders due to the very soft North American paper markets for printing and writing papers, but also due to the ongoing, tight B.C. raw fibre market.

Kissack also told that the supply of wood chips from the central or southern Interior and Okanagan is "tight."

He also said that the machines will be back on line on May 2.
