Swedish-Polish fine paper manufacturer Arctic Paper is planning to definitely idle the PM 7 at its Grycksbo mill in Sweden and has now announced a concrete date for the closure. The mill's managing director told EUWID that production at the fine paper machine was planned to be stopped on 1 March this year.

PM 7 is the smallest of three machines at the Grycksbo site and has the capacity to produce 45,000 tpy of coated woodfree paper. The mill as a whole can produce up to 265,000 tpy of paper. The spokesman also mentioned that the machine had not run in full in the past years and that production was currently down.
