PRODUCERS AND CONVERTERS

Sofidel has finalized its acquisition of Royal Paper’s assets in the United States, further strengthening its position in the North American market. The agreement between Sofidel and Royal Paper—a recognized player in the US in both the at-home and awayfrom- home segments—was announced on April 9. Three facilities in Arizona—the paper mill in Gila Bend (with an annual production capacity of 61,000 metric tons) and two converting facilities in Phoenix—and one converting facility in Duncan, SC, officially become part of Sofidel’s production footprint.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation has announced it has entered into an agreement with Suzano to form a strategic partnership, creating a preeminent international tissue and professional products company and sharpening Kimberly-Clark’s focus on its higher growth, higher margin businesses. Kimberly-Clark will own a 49 percent interest in the new venture, which will include substantially all the assets of its International Family Care and Professional (“IFP”) business, and Suzano will own 51 percent.
