BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 23, 2021

A container ship waiting this week in Searsport Harbor to unload its cargo is a visible sign of progress for Belfast-based GO Lab Inc., according to company officials. The Alamosborg, from the Netherlands, is hauling an entire production line from Germany in more than 80 regular and oversized shipping containers. The lightly used equipment is destined for GO Lab’s plant in Madison, located at the former Madison Paper Industries Mill, where it will be used to produce wood fiber insulation boards for the North American market. The Madison paper mill closed in 2016.
