American tissue manufacturer Marcal Paper has increased its premium tissue capabilities after announcing the acquisition of Ontario-based St. Catharines tissue mill.
Previously owned by Biorigin Specialty Products, the purchase includes the company’s premium TAD tissue and specialty paper manufacturing facilities.
Founded in 1912, the mill produces high-quality TAD parent rolls used in premium At-Home and AfH paper towel and bath tissue products, alongside a portfolio of specialty paper grades.
Rob Baron, Chief Executive of Marcal, said: “St. Catharines is a remarkable asset with a remarkable team behind it.
“Adding the complementary mill to our platform is a natural step for Marcal – it strengthens our ability to deliver the premium tissue products our customers expect, while bringing in a deeply experienced workforce and a specialty paper business with a long heritage of innovation.
“We’re proud to welcome the St. Catharines team to Marcal and committed to investing in the mill’s continued success.
“Marcal and St. Catharines each have a storied history in papermaking and as anchors of our respective communities.
Headquartered in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, outside New York City, Marcal has been one of America’s leading manufacturers of tissue products for 90 years and now operates nine facilities in America.
