Sappi investing $13M in Skowhegan mill
By The Mainebiz News Staff
Sappi Ltd. is spending $13 million to upgrade coated paper manufacturing at its Somerset Mill in Skowhegan.
The project includes rebuilding its No. 3 paper machine to improve its performance, reduce costs and allow it to produce a broader range of products, according to a press release. The work is expected to be completed next fall. The Somerset mill primarily makes paper for high-end magazines, books and catalogs. The mill falls under the Sappi Fine Paper North America division, which also has a mill in Westbrook and a mill in Minnesota.
The company is investing $170 million to convert the kraft pulp mill in Cloquet, Minn., to chemical cellulose, a product used in the textile and consumer goods markets.
