Port Angeles paper mill may increase production to offset Japan damage

The Nippon Paper Industries mill in Port Angeles may increase production to make up for mills in Japan damaged by the earthquake and tsunami.

The Associated Press

PORT ANGELES, Wash. —

The Nippon Paper Industries mill in Port Angeles may increase production to make up for mills in Japan damaged by the earthquake and tsunami.

The manager of the mill, Harold Norlund, told the Peninsula Daily News the parent company said international plants could be called on to increase supply. Officials are still assessing damage in Japan, but four paper mills there have been closed indefinitely by quake and tsunami damage to equipment and stock.

The Port Angeles mill has about 250 employees. It makes newsprint and paper for phone directories.

The Tokyo-based parent company, Nippon Paper Group, oversees about 180 affiliates and related companies worldwide.
