Mercer International Inc. announces downtime at its Celgar mill

Juan Carlos Bueno, Mercer’s President and CEO remarked, “We are disappointed that the current fiber supply situation — and in particular, the lack of available residual fiber for pulp — has led us to the difficult position forcing us to curtail. The continued fiber supply problem is a source of disappointment for our employees, our suppliers, the Castlegar region and the province at large. We are hopeful for a resolution in short order.”
