We have climbed so many mountains, this is just another one for us, he said. The Lincoln union official said environmentally the company is operating above and beyond legal requirements and on the production side it is running better than ever. We are setting right now to have a real good run. I am optimistic about the future, said Corriveau. Doug Walsh, vice president and general manager of Eastern Paper s Lincoln mill, said business has been improving in recent months.
Prices are on the upswing.
Customer orders are solid and our machine backlogs are better than they have been in some time, he said. Walsh is optimistic the filing will result in stable operations and allow the best opportunity for continued success. Brewer Mayor Eddie Campbell described the filing as an opportunity for a fine company with a great track record to reorganize itself. We are absolutely confident they are going to pull through this, said Campbell. They have ownership and management that are beyond reproach.
