While market conditions continue to support the restart of our pulp operations and employment of more than 300 workers, the curtailment of paper operations at Crofton is being extended to the end of November.
The continued curtailment means that approximately 70 paper operations employees will not return to work in November. Paper Excellence Canada continues to work with our employees to mitigate the impact of the ongoing paper production curtailment.
The sales team continues to work with customers to provide alternative products from Catalyst Alberni mill or other mills within the Paper Excellence Group family of companies where possible.
Paper Excellence Canada, headquartered in British Columbia, is a diversified manufacturer of pulp and specialty, printing, writing, and packaging papers in Canada with a production capacity of over 2.5 million tonnes annually and a workforce of more than 2,100.

Members of Unifor Local 1132 at the Crofton mill in British Columbia, Canada, received notice that the scheduled restart of the mill, slated for the end of the month, has been delayed by at least another 30 days, leaving workers and their families in the lurch.
The company advised members that the current plan is to restart production at the kraft mill and the paper mill at the end of September, contingent on the ‘recovery of market prices for its paper products’ – a target that was not clearly defined. This is the third time Paper Excellence has announced a shutdown extension since May 2023, when a 30-day curtailment was planned.

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CPPI) today reported its second quarter of 2023 results.
The Company reported an operating loss of $37.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to an operating loss of $25.2 million for the first quarter of 2023. After taking into consideration a net $6.9 million inventory write-down in the current period, the Company’s adjusted operating loss was $31.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to an adjusted operating loss of $21.6 million for the first quarter of 2023. These results, for the most part, reflect the impact of substantial global pulp pricing declines in the current quarter driven by elevated global market pulp producer inventory levels and weak global softwood pulp demand.
