华盛顿一家纸厂将在2026年关闭一台机器,由于成本高昂,削减了200个工作岗位。 A Washington paper plant will shut down a machine in 2026, cutting 200 jobs due to high costs.

2013年美国包装公司在华盛顿收购的Wallula纸厂将在2026年初关闭其剩余的两台纸机中的一台,从而消除了大约200个工作。 The Wallula Paper Plant in Washington, acquired by Packaging Corporation of America in 2013, will shut down one of its two remaining paper machines in early 2026, eliminating about 200 jobs. 由木纤维和电力等高生产成本驱动的关闭 — — 这是五氯苯甲醚美国工厂中最高的工厂之一 — — 延续了该州制造业下降的趋势。 The closure, driven by high production costs including wood fiber and electricity—among the highest of PCA’s U.S. plants—continues a trend of manufacturing decline in the state. 虽然该公司说损失的产出将被其他地方增产所抵消,但停产后剩余工人的确切人数还不清楚。 While the company said lost output will be offset by increased production elsewhere, the exact number of remaining workers after the shutdown is unclear.
