2010 has been a challenging year: the recovery of domestic demand, the reduction of domestic production capacity, and the decrease in imports have all converged to create the tightest market conditions in recent history. This “perfect storm” also presented the Tembec Paper Group with the opportunity to assess internal processes, improve customer service, and introduce new systems.

Our new stocking program has been designed to ensure stock availability and to enhance customers' ability to plan their operations. In order to facilitate order lead time management and to reduce potential out-of-stock complications, the stocking items have now been prioritized with clearly defined guaranteed maximum ship times from our facilities.

The new stocking program items and guaranteed ship times are listed in detail on our stock list specifications page. Please note, the stated ship times are maximums and every effort will be made to exceed these guaranteed times.
