Dow Jones Description
We are a major manufacturer of recycled paperboard and converted paperboard products. We operate in four business segments. The paperboard segment manufactures 100% recycled uncoated and clay-coated paperboard and operates a specialty converting operation. The recovered fiber segment collects and sells recycled paper and brokers recycled paper and other paper rolls. The tube and core segment produces spiral and convolute-wound tubes and cores and edge protectors. The folding carton segment produces printed and unprinted folding cartons and set-up boxes. Our business is vertically integrated to a large extent. This means that our converting operations consume a large portion of our own paperboard production, approximately 52% in the first three months of 2009. The remaining 48% of our paperboard production is sold to external customers in any of the four recycled paperboard end-use markets: tube and core; folding cartons; gypsum wallboard facing paper; and specialty paperboard products. As part of our strategy to optimize our operating efficiency, each of our mills can produce recycled paperboard for more than one end-use market. This allows us to shift production among mills in response to customer or market demands. More recently, in light of the difficult operating climate we have faced, and in an effort to reduce costs and improve our business mix, capacity deployment, and profitability, restructuring activities have been an important element of our strategy. ...
