PCA to Add Boise for Just Under $2B

"The acquisition is an excellent fit, both geographically and strategically, with unique and substantial synergies," said PCA Executive Chairman Paul Stecko. "It provides the containerboard that PCA needs to support our strong corrugated products growth. The DeRidder containerboard mill is low cost, located in a very good wood basket and, after the D2 machine conversion, provides almost one million tons of primarily lightweight containerboard."
