The Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) paper mill in Jackson has called employees back to work and is expected to resume production Monday, Jan. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mill has not made a public statement on restarting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PCA shocked employees and the community in mid-November when it announced that it was temporarily laying off nearly all of its 400- plus workers and idling the mill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PCA did not elaborate at the time but did issue a brief statement that the shutdown was due to \u201ceconomic conditions and lower demand for our products\u2026We fully intend to resume operations after the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PCA recently converted the Jackson mill from the exclusive manufacture of white paper to also make linerboard, or brown paper, used to make cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently, there was a large inventory of linerboard and boxes on the market resulting in sluggish or no sales of the products which resulted in PCA\u2019s actions to let inventories catch up with demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
