No.Could they expand, probably. But where do those trees come from? Where do those machines come from? And where does the qualified personnel come from to operate the additional machines?Would they want to expand? No. Because expanding at the moment is risky, because when the tariffs go down or disappear suddenly they are left holding the bag. Also more demand with less capacity means higher prices across the board. Adding more capacity decreases the prices. These companies are not philanthropic institutions, if they can make significantly more money without any additional investments, and with zero risks, they would be crazy not to.</blockquote>
