Kruger announced that it has reduced coated paper production at its two Trois-Rivieres mills by a total of 50,000 tons in 2008. This reduction, which represents about 12% of the Company’s annual coated paper production, was necessary due to difficult market conditions. Founded in 1904, Kruger Inc. is a major producer of publication papers, tissue, lumber and other wood products, corrugated cartons from recycled fibers, green and renewable energy and wines and spirits. The Company operates facilities in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, in the United States and the United Kingdom and has 9,000 employees.
