Twin Rivers Paper Company a global leader in the manufacture of innovative printing and technical specialty papers, has announced the acquisition of specific envelope assets of the Cascades division in East Angus Quebec Canada.

The addition of the Twin Rivers Enviro Kraft™ Envelope to the product line provides an ongoing and consistent source of supply to long-standing customers of these grades. With product development complete, the Madawaska Paper Mill will begin commercial production in the coming weeks.

Cascades and Twin Rivers representatives worked closely through the development process and will continue this cooperation to ensure a seamless transition of the business moving forward. Twin Rivers' Enviro Kraft Envelope will be manufactured to the same high quality specifications that converters and consumers alike have come to expect from the grade.

"The Recycled Natural Envelope offering is a great addition to the Twin Rivers product line," said company President, Ken Winterhalter. "The inclusion of these unique products to our portfolio is another example of Twin Rivers' ongoing commitment to broaden our offering in high value niche segments. We are confident the environmentally astute customers will find us to be an innovative and value-added future partner."
