Paper Excellent Group rebrands as Domtar. Paper Excellence and Domtar along with Resolute Forest Products will be fully integrated under the Domtar name. Paper Excellence/Domtar have vast holding in the USA and Canada controlling the forests, pulp, and paper manufacturing (See attached map). Recently, Paper Excellence/Domtar acquired Indonesian based Asian Pulp and Paper with reported ties to the Chinese government. Paper Excellence has denied any affiliation with Asian Pulp & Paper company in the blockbuster deal. The impact is felt on the USA based companies in the Paper, Pulp and Forestry industries by becoming more dependent on China & Indonesian controlling of our resources. It is time for our government and our Industry Associations to understand the threat to our Paper, Pulp and Forestry Industries and support investment into these key industries!
