    Corner Brook Pulp and Paper to begin newsprint production in February after shutdown since November

    Tuesday, 13 January 2026 06:00

    By Tonya Organ

    The company will continue to monitor conditions closely and adjust plans as needed to ensure a safe and sustainable return to production.

    Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Ltd. (CBPPL) will begin a phased restart of operations early next month. In a news release from Kruger’s communications department yesterday, it states “the company will continue to monitor conditions closely and adjust plans as needed to ensure a safe and sustainable return to production.” The mill shut down in November due to low water levels at the Grand Lake reservoir, which is used to generate electricity at Deer Lake Power and source newsprint production.  Mill workers were assigned different duties but paper production stopped.  Kruger acquired the mill in 1984 and its operations sustain over 1,000 jobs in this province.
