The company says the mill’s main markets in China have “significantly weakened” while costs for chemicals, energy and wood fibre used at Crofton have escalated
The paper mill in Crofton is being shut down indefinitely, affecting about 150 unionized employees in the Cowichan Valley.
The company said the mill’s main markets in China have “significantly weakened” while costs for chemicals, energy and wood fibre used at Crofton have escalated. “We recognize the hardship this will have on both our employees and the Cowichan Valley,” Paper Excellence said. “We hope to minimize these impacts through union discussions that will consider secondments, utilization of earned time off and employment insurance.”In 2021, the company used $4.5 million in federal assistance to repurpose its Port Alberni paper machines to manufacture food- and packaging-grade papers.
