“As a result of the government’s action and the new forestry strategy we will have access to a sustainable wood supply and will be able to continue investing in our company and providing jobs in our community,” says Jean Pierre Grenon, Vice President of Forestry and Sawmill Operations.
The introduction of the new strategy and access to a sustainable wood supply will result in 230 employees at the Twin Rivers Plaster Rock operations, up from 180 employees. The 50 new jobs are to be in place by May 2014; and the new investment is anticipated to result in about 70 to 80 indirect jobs including in the woods and transport industry.
“Since we took the helm of Twin Rivers last June, our plan has always been to create a sustainable business that will be well positioned to thrive and grow over the long-term,” says Grenon.
Twin Rivers produces specialty papers and lumber for multi-markets.
