Due to the need for unplanned mechanical repairs of the anaerobic reactor that treats effluents of the Greenpac and Niagara Falls Containerboard mills, Cascades will be advancing maintenance initially scheduled for the fourth quarter at its Greenpac Mill in Niagara Falls, NY to the third quarter in order to optimize downtime scheduling. This will temporarily reduce Greenpac production which, when combined with the rescheduled planned maintenance, will result in total production downtime of approximately 26,000 short tons for the Containerboard segment in the third quarter, up from the estimated 9,800 short tons disclosed in conjunction with second quarter results on August 5, 2021. Production is expected to return to normal in October.
These changes are expected to impact the Containerboard segment third quarter operating income before depreciation (OIBD) by approximately $10 to $13 million. Consequently, Containerboard third quarter results are now expected to be slightly below both prior year and second quarter levels.
Founded in 1964, Cascades offers sustainable, innovative and value-added solutions for packaging, hygiene and recovery needs.
