PABA Celebrates Nippon Anniversary

At yesterday's meeting, the Port Angeles Business Association honored the 90th anniversary of the mill that's now owned by Nippon Paper Industries. December 14th will be the 90 year mark.

The mill was started by two Canadian lumbermen who bought the property soon after the end of World War One. The mill was taken over by Nippon Paper of Japan in 2003. There are currently 198 employees. The company pays medical benefits to employees and retirees.
