Federal investment supports Alberta forest sector against U.S. tariffs
A $20 million federal investment is directed to Mercer Peace River to support modernisation of the Alberta pulp mill amid U.S. tariffs on Canadian forest products.
The Government of Canada has announced a $20 million investment directed to Mercer Peace River, a pulp mill in Peace River, Alberta. The stated purpose is to help the company modernise its operations and maintain competitiveness in international markets.
The announcement is set against continuing U.S. tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber and other forest products, which have affected profitability across the sector.
For operators of pulp and paper processing equipment, modernisation programmes of this kind typically touch drive systems, motor replacement and electrical infrastructure alongside process equipment. Pulp and paper is one of the sectors MotiraTech supports.
