Alizay, 13 March 2013 – Double A , leading premium pulp and paper manufacturer, announces that the Alizay mill will be restarted before the summer as the operational plan is progressing according to the initial working schedule.

The mill has been shut down for over a year, it takes time to restart such a large plant. Recruitment is under way and will be pursued in the coming weeks.
