The future of another major industrial operation is under review because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Norwegian forest products company Norske Skog is reviewing the future of its Tasman newsprint mill at Kawerau.
Norske Skog said Covid-19 has had a rapid, negative and likely irreversible impact on the industry in the region.
It said it was now looking at various long term options including making bleached chemical pulp and once it had a preference it would be put to staff.
