Mantova, Italy 16 January 2013 -- Burgo Group communicates the suspension of production at Mantova Mill starting February 9th, 2013. Current production capacity of the plant is 150,000 tons/year of Newsprint.

The decision is due to the unsustainable impact of energy costs in Italy. Additional causes are European Newsprint market overcapacity and raw materials costs.

Burgo Group will evaluate developments of the competitive scenario before taking any decision about the industrial future of the plant.
