The converting facility and two Michigan mills strate- gically position Billerud to deliver products and services quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively to its network of val- ued customers. “We extend our gratitude to the Wisconsin Rapids team and community for their dedication and support of the mill, our company and our customers throughout the strategic exploration process,” said Kevin Kuznicki, Billerud’s Presi- dent and General Counsel for North America. “We are proud of the significant role the mill has played in the paper and pulp industry’s history and our longtime record of community involvement and partnership. “We look forward to continuing our community support with the ongoing operation of the Wisconsin Rapids Con- verting Facility, keeping more than 130 jobs in the area, as well as indirectly supporting thousands of jobs throughout our supply chain.” During the interim period preceding the closure, Biller- ud has authorized CRG, LLC to begin promoting a pub- lic auction for certain idled and obsolete equipment. This auction will occur following the transaction close. Billerud has nine production units in Sweden, USA, and Finland with around 5,800 employees in over 13 countries.
