BARCELONA, Jan. 19, 2009 (Press Release) – Lecta, the second largest coated fine paper manufacturer in Europe, will extend the downtime announced last November and December during the first quarter 2009.

These significant curtailments are affecting CWF mills of all three of the group’s companies, Garda, Condat and Torraspapel.
