Domtar to Indefinitely Idle Its Grenada, MS, Paper Mill in September

Domtar Corporation will indefinitely idle operations at its Grenada, Mississippi, paper mill in September, The Northside Sun reported (8-20-25).

Officials with Domtar, a leading North American manufacturer of forest products that purchased Resolute Forest Products in March 2023, announced the decision to employees Wednesday morning, citing market conditions in the newsprint sector.

The move is part of Domtar’s ongoing efforts to align operations with current business conditions. The company said it will ensure a safe and orderly wind-down of production and is committed to supporting more than 160 employees, their families, and the Grenada community with career transition resources, benefits guidance, and transparent communication during the process.
