HARMAC PACIFIC

Harmac Pacific operates a Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp mill located on the east coast of Vancouver Island near Nanaimo, British Columbia.  Nanaimo Forest Products Ltd., the owner of the Harmac Pacific trademark, restarted the mill with a single production line on October 3, 2008, producing NBSK at the rate of 226,000 tonnes per year. In 2009, a second production line is projected to start up, bringing the mill's production capacity to 331,000 tonnes of pulp per year. Future capital projects may allow the production of 370,000 tonnes per year from a two-line configuration.

The Harmac mill produces high quality kraft pulps made from custom blends of Douglas fir, western hemlock, balsam fir and western red cedar. The pulp is sold in Europe, North America , the Pacific Rim and Latin America . With its strategic location on a deep water port, the mill is well situated for cost effective export of pulp and receipt of raw materials such as wood fiber.
