DMI in British Columbia
Daishowa-Marubeni International Ltd. together with West Fraser Mills Ltd. jointly owns Cariboo Pulp & Paper Company, a high quality bleached kraft pulp mill. Cariboo Pulp & Paper Company produces bleached softwood kraft pulp, which meets the stringent requirements of the world's most demanding markets for high brightness, cleanliness and strength. The mill is located at Quesnel, in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. Cariboo Pulp & Paper began production in 1972.
Lodegepole Pine and White Spruce are the predominant species in the area. Douglas Fir and Alpine Fir are also present in smaller numbers. The long slender Lodgepole Pine and White Spruce fibres impart a very high tensile strength to the papermaking furnish and allow for a high degree of sheet smoothness. The mill purchases 100 per cent of its chips from local solid wood manufacturers.
Of the 336,000 ADMT/year production, DMI exports its 50 per cent share of Cariboo pulp to markets in Japan and Southeast Asia, while West Fraser ships to North America and Europe. Regular freight service links Quesnel with Vancouver, 680 kilometres south and Prince George, 120 kilometres north and on to the deep-water, all season port of Squamish, on Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada.
