Kruger Launches Project Tuckamore to Revitalize Corner Brook Pulp and Paper

July 16, 2026 - Kruger Inc. announced the launch of Project Tuckamore, the major initiative to revitalize Corner Brook Pulp and Paper and transform the site into an integrated energy and industrial hub.

The Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Mill, located in Newfoundland, Canada, produces newsprint from thermomechanical pulp. The mill has two hydroelectric plants and a biomass cogeneration plant as well as a woodlands department.

The company said that the project is designed to strengthen the mill's long-term competitiveness while contributing to Newfoundland and Labrador's evolving energy needs.

"Project Tuckamore is about positioning Corner Brook Pulp and Paper for the future," said Darren Pelley, Vice President, Special Projects at Kruger. "By bringing together industrial modernization, sustainable forestry and renewable energy, we are creating a stronger, more resilient operation that will continue to contribute to the economy and communities of Newfoundland and Labrador for decades to come."

The project involves:

• Pivoting from 8' cut to length pulpwood to full tree length harvest of sawlogs for direct delivery to sawmills with only chips and biomass going to the mill for paper production;
• Improved chip receiving to support sawmill partners & installation of a biomass drying facility;
• Paper production from sawmill chips & residuals supported by variable power from the windfarm and mill cogeneration;
• Removal of the Mount Bernard Avenue tank farm and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions;
• Construction of a wind farm within existing CBPPL active harvest limits;
• Refurbishment of Deer Lake Power and Watson's Brook hydroelectric facilities include penstock replacement and full conversion to 60 cycle power with upgrades to control systems.

In an effort to present open and transparent dialogue, Kruger has set-up a new Community Engagement Office dedicated to Project Tuckamore which officially opened on July 15 in Suite 111 of the CRI Building, located at 3 Mill Road in Corner Brook.

Members of the public are welcome to visit Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to learn more about the project, ask questions, and share feedback, the company noted.
