New sign in Old Town

A large new sign at the Old Town mill in Maine makes the mill look more like part of the ND Paper family! The rainbow coming over the building certainly signals a bright future is on the horizon. We’re on-track to reopen the mill, which was shuttered in October 2015, this year and plan to produce unbleached softwood kraft pulp.

Old Town Boiler Start Up

What’s that in the sky in Old Town, Maine?

Your eyes don’t deceive you – that steam emission from the Old Town mill is proof we’re well on our way to adding a fourth production facility to the ND Paper family!

Our team this week successfully fired our #5 package boiler. While this is one task of many yet to come, it marks a very important milestone in the journey to restarting the facility. Why? The #5 boiler is the first piece of major operating equipment to run in the mill since its idling in October 2015. Further, the mill will now be self-supplied with heat; up to this point, we’ve relied on portable heat units.

This is a new beginning for Old Town, and we’re just getting started!
