DomtarInc is a Canadian manufacturer of paper products with headquarters in Montréal.
Domtar operates plants in Canada and the US and mills in Windsor, Québec and Cornwall, Ontario.
DoFor Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Société Génerale de financement du Québec, holds 24% of the shares, while the other major shareholder is CAISSE DE DÉPÔT ET PLACEMENT DU QUÉBEC.
Domtar's cuts follow similar closures by a number of Canadian pulp and lumber companies in recent months as they cope with rising energy costs, weak markets and a stronger Canadian dollar, which has made their products more difficult to sell in the key American market.
Domtar said it is seeking government approval to transfer the wood fibre allocation for Grand Remous and Malartic to its other Quebec sawmills, which would allow about 80 employees to transfer.
Domtar is North America's third-biggest producer of free sheet paper, which is used for photocopying, as well as a major producer of business papers and other products.
