Domtar announced the closure of the Woodland pulp mill for an undetermined period on 05 March 2009, due to weak global pulp demand, historically high inventory levels, and depressed prices. Domtar pulp inventory levels have since been substantially reduced. The timely benefits from the refundable tax credits for the production and use of alternative biofuel mixtures, and other important conditions, such as stronger global demand, improving prices, and favorable currency exchange rates have made the reopening possible. Domtar will closely monitor the mill's profitability, which is critical to maintaining operations.
