About 110 employees of Kruger Inc. will be affected when the company shuts down Paper Machine No. 2 at its Corner Brook newsprint mill for two weeks in the west coast city.

A news release states the shutdown period will run from Dec. 23 to Jan. 7.

The 15-day curtailment will result in a 4,000 metric tonne reduction in newsprint output.

Founded in 1904, Kruger Inc. is a major producer of publication papers, tissue, lumber and other wood products, corrugated cartons from recycled fibres, green and renewable energy and wines and spirits.

The company is also involved in paper and paperboard recycling in North America.

Kruger operates facilities in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador and the United States.
