Kruger Specialty Papers Holding has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire DKP Pulp, a legal entity wholly-owned by Domtar.
Once closed, the deal means that the Kruger affiliate business will own and operate the British Columbia-based Kamloops mill, and means the tissue manufacturer will increase its Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp production.
The business already produces NBSK in its Wayagamack plant in Three Rivers, Québec.
The Kamloops plant produces high quality NBSK pulp and unbleached softwood kraft for customers in North America and Asia.
