Our Mackenzie mill, located in the British Columbia Interior, 700 miles north of Vancouver, is Canada's most northerly softwood market kraft pulp mill. The unique characteristics of the fiber resource, (white spruce, lodgepole pine and alpine fir) make Mackenzie pulp one of the brightest, cleanest and strongest pulps in the world. A single-line mill, Mackenzie has the capacity to produce 220,000 metric tons of market pulp annually. The mill was built in 1972 and was significantly modernized in 1996 with the addition of short fiber softwood digesting production capabilities.

The plant employs approximately 260 people, the majority of which are represented by the Communication Energy and Paperworks Union of Canada Local 1092, with which the company has an excellent relationship.
