Mission

To ensure the supply of all fibre needs, in accordance with the required specifications (quantity, quality, delivery schedule, cost).

Description

Papier Masson Ltée consumes 245,000 bone-dry tonnes of wood chips each year. Its thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) process uses softwood chips (spruce, fir, etc.) and, in smaller proportions, wood chips from aspen.

The wood chips come from sawmills in the Outaouais, Abitibi, Laurentides and Ontario regions. These wood chips, which offer excellent quality fibre for our processes, are produced when trees are processed into lumber.

Paper mills with a TMP process can now use the residue from lumber production as raw material. TMP is therefore an important means for recycling, since wood that cannot be used for lumber is converted to wood chips and delivered to paper mills.
