The Thai pulp and premium paper manufacturer Double A resumed in July 2014 the production of Evolve brand: Alizay mill's 100% recovered paper which production had started in 2008. This is in accordance with the company’s commitment during the purchase of Alizay mill in 2013.
Launched in 1996, Evolve has been well accepted in the UK and France by environmentally conscious end consumers and corporations. The production of Evolve paper had been stopped in 2011 following the closing of the Alizay mill (Haute-Normandie). One year after the purchase of the mill by the Thai paper manufacturer, the resumption of the Evolve paper production represents the complete reindustrialization of the Alizay mill and the company’s commitment towards its development in Europe.
“The Alizay mill acquisition in January 2013 has enabled us to reinforce Double A’s standing in Europe while answering our European clients’ expectations. Today, we are proud to celebrate the first anniversary of a mill which combines the machines’ modernity to great performances thanks to skilled and committed workers. This success confirms our development strategy in France and Europe which are key markets for Double A’s growth,” comments Mr. Thirawit Leetavorn, Double A Senior Executive Vice President.
