more to help employees during this time.” The company said its goal is to minimize the impact on employees by using current vacancies, retirements, nor- mal attrition and other roles at International Paper. Approx- imately 900 positions will be impacted. The permanent closure of the Orange mill will reduce the company's containerboard capacity by approximately 800,000 tons. The company's remaining containerboard mill system in North America will include 17 mills with an annual production capability of 13MM tons. The actions in Pensacola and Riegelwood will reduce IP's pulp capacity by approximately 500,000 tons (300,000 tons fluff pulp and 200,000 tons southern bleached soft- wood). The company's remaining pulp mill system will in- clude eight mills with an annual production capability of 2.7MM tons. “We believe strongly in the attractive, long-term fun- damentals of our businesses and these actions further strengthen our competitive platform. Our optimized mill system, with its broad capabilities, gives us the flexibility to meet our customers' needs today and in the future,” said Sutton. The company expects the Orange mill and the #20 ma- chine in Riegelwood to cease production by the end of the year. The #4 machine in Pensacola is currently idled and will not resume production.
