The operating results of Columbus Container will be included in PCA’s results upon closing of the transaction. In October 2016, we announced that we will cease softwood market pulp operations at our Wallula, Washington mill and permanently shutdown the No. 1 machine, with pulp capacity of approximately 100,000 tons, effective December 1, 2016.
