Oct 02, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Sexton Lumber Co. Limited will temporarily close operations at sawmill
in Bloomfield, Canada. The closure will
directly affect all 79 employees at the mill. All of those workers will be
affected as the mill shuts down for lack of logs.
The company said it had requested additional timber be sent to the site
to avoid the shutdown, but the request was denied, citing the expression of
interest for the development of the resources formerly held by Abitibi-Bowater.
The shutdown of the Bloomfield mill will stop the
flow of pulp chips to Corner Brook Pulp and Paper.
Sexton Lumber, located near Clarenville, is the largest sawmill in Newfoundland. It is also the
largest supplier of both pulp chips and spruce fibre to Corner Brook Pulp and
Paper.
