Norske Skog's Tasman Mill in Kawerau. Photo / SuppliedNorske Skog will close its Tasman Mill at the end of June, with 160 staff to be made redundant. Eric Luck, Norske Skog's Regional President, said the ongoing secular decline of the newsprint industry had been the key reason for the decision. It's the end of an era, but the structural change in the newsprint industry provided no viable alternative for paper production at Tasman. Luck said Norske Skog would work to conclude the sale process of the mill's assets as quickly as possible.
