Double A buys Alizay pulp and paper mill

Thailand pulp and paper producer Double A announced that it has acquired the Alizay pulp and paper mill located in northern France from the French government agency, Conceil General l’Eure.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The former owner, Metsa Board, divested the Alizay mill to Conceil General l'Eure for EUR 22 million.

According to Double A, the Alizay mill will use two types of fiber for paper production — a virgin short fiber from the company's KHAN-NA1 tree plantations in Thailand, and recycled fiber which will be used for the production of Double A's "Evolve" paper brand.
