JAY — Verso announced Thursday it will produce its new line of paper products for the food service at the Androscoggin Mill.

GlazeGuard is a grease-resistant paper designed for uses such as  sandwich and deli wraps, foodservice liners, microwave popcorn bags and laminated food pouches, according to a company statement.

Verso plans to produce GlazeGuard on paper machine No. 5 at the Mill, according to the company statement.

Verso and 26 subsidiaries voluntarily filed petitions on Jan. 26 with the court to reorganize under Chapter 11.

Verso shut down its No. 1 pulp dryer and No. 2 paper machine last year at the Androscoggin Mill and eliminated about 300 jobs.
