Weyerhaeuser to Combine Fine Paper Business With Domtar

The “new Domtar” will have its head office in Montreal, Quebec, while the headquarters of operations will be in Fort Mill, SC.

Harold MacKay, counsel and formerly chairman and senior partner to the Regina, Saskatchewan law firm of MacPherson Leslie & Tyerman LLP and an international advisor to Weyerhaeuser’s board of directors, will chair a 13-member board - seven nominated by Weyerhaeuser, six by Domtar. MacKay will resign his Weyerhaeuser advisory role before becoming chairman.
