Paper maker NewPage Corporation announced it filed for Chapter 11 with the United States Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del. 
“The filing of our plan of reorganization is an important and positive step forward to a successful completion of our financial reorganization,” said George F. Martin, CEO. “Discussions with and among our major creditor groups regarding the plan are ongoing. We are hopeful that these discussions will lead to broad support for our plan.”
New Page is struggling with a heavy debt load and declining demand for paper products.
