Video marks paper machine's final turn
 |
| THE END: Workers on the final shift gather to watch the final roll being made before the closure of the Number 2 Paper Machine at Norske Skog in Kawerau. |
110 jobs were axed after the company decided to close one of two news print machines at the mill, witch was built in the 1950s.
The remaining machine will continue producing newsprint, mostly for New Zealand and Australia.
In a statement last week, general manager, Peter McCarty, said the company could be proud of operating the mill successfully and bringing wealth to the region for more than 50 years.
He said the company would be diversifying into renewable energy and biofuels.
A video documenting the final day on the job has been produced by local Kawerau film maker and mill worker Frans Roozendaal.
