Verso Working With UMaine Researchers

A Bangor Daily News story about a planned $40 million boiler-turbine project at the Verso Paper Co. mill in Bucksport included comments about the company’s work with UMaine researchers to develop new projects in order to remain profitable in the paper market. Verso spokesman Bill Cohen said UMaine is doing research in Orono and tests the research in Bucksport. Due to a nondisclosure agreement, Cohen declined to elaborate on what kind of products are being developed.
