Multiply up to speed following recent fire
April 13, 2007
Less
than one month after a fire gutted its mill in Nipigon, Ontario, Multiply Forest
Products says it has caught up with all its standing orders. The company moved
its operations to a sister plant in Longac, Ontario, about two hours north of
Nipigon. Multiply vp Doug Melien noted that the company lost a few orders
during the transition and rerouting between mills. Still, he noted that the
situation has been greatly helped by support from the surrounding community and
the loyalty of long time customers.
“We have been awestruck by the overwhelming support and
community support we have seen,” said Melien. “Our customers and our employees
have especially been loyal,” adds Melien. “We are the largest, oldest and most
trusted producer out there…and we have been humbled by the responses we have
received.”
He added that plans are underway for
an upgrade that will bring the Longac facility to first-class standards within
18 months to two years. The company is also seeking the advise of engineering
firms to determine if rebuilding the Nipigon mill is feasible.
