Paper company Boise to cut 325 in Oregon
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 | No comments posted.
ST. HELENS (AP) — Boise Inc. says it will cut 325 jobs at its paper mill in St. Helens.
The Idaho-based company says demand is down and costs are up.
Boise officials said 300 of the jobs are at the mill, and another 25 are in sales, marketing and logistics.
The company says 170 workers will remain at the St. Helens plant once the cuts are complete in January.
In its quarterly report earlier this month, Boise said rising costs for wood fiber, energy and chemicals had hurt financial results at the mill.
