Papier Masson Ltée

At Papier Masson Ltée, our standard newsprint is produced using thermo-mechanical pulp (TMP) on a Bel Baie paper machine #3. Our TMP plant, put into operation in July 2000, has increased the tensile strength of the paper, which has greatly improved the performance of our paper on our customer' presses, in addition to providing opacity and brightness exceeding the industry's average. Our paper machine, installed in 1985 and regularly modernized, produces a very high quality sheet with excellent formation. In addition, thanks to the automatic control of colour, our sheet meets the standards set by the Newspaper Association of America with little variation. Our sheet is also known by our customers who use offset presses for its print quality, which is among the best in the industry because of its smooth surface and stable behaviour on the presses during four-colour, double-sided print runs. Lastly, the rolls are produced using a computer-controlled winder prior to being shipped directly to clients from the mill by truck or by rail.
