Clearwater Paper Corporation is a pulp and paper product manufacturer that was created on December 9, 2008, via a spin-off from the real estate investment trust (REIT) company Potlatch Corporation. With its headquarters in Spokane, Washington, the new company started with four locations for the manufacture of bleached paperboard, consumer tissue, and wood products.〔http://www.manta.com/company/mmsw6nn〕 In late 2010, the company acquired Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, which increased its tissue manufacturing presence in the eastern United States and Canada. The total number of manufacturing sites rose to fourteen, with another in construction.〔(Paper Age.com ) - Clearwater Paper Completes Acquisition of Cellu Tissue - 2010-12-27 - accessed 2011-09-14〕 In November 2011, the company completed the sale of its Lewiston, Idaho, sawmill to Idaho Forest Group of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Today, the company has two divisions: consumer products, and pulp and paperboard. The company's newest facility at Shelby, North Carolina, officially started-up in December 2012, producing its first private label through-air-dried (TAD) finished roll and converted tissue paper product to compete with national TAD tissue brands. Clearwater Paper also completed upgrades to its North Las Vegas facility, allowing the facility to produce TAD ultra-bathroom tissue and household towels. Clearwater Paper is the premier supplier of private label tissue products to the major retail grocery chains.〔http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:CLW〕 It supplies more than half of the store brand bathroom tissue, paper towels, facial tissue and napkins to grocery stores in the United States.〔 ==Spin-off from Potlatch== The spin-off from Potlatch Corporation was announced by its board of directors July 17, 2008,〔(Paper Age.com ) - Potlatch Board OK's Spin-off of Pulp-Based Businesses - 2008-07-18 - accessed 2011-09-14〕 with the official date for the creation of Clearwater Paper being December 9, 2008. According to the IRS, the spin-off was ruled to be a tax-free distribution of stocks as Potlatch issued 1 share of Clearwater Paper stock for every 3.5 shares of Potlatch stock, with any fractional shares being paid in cash.〔http://www.candesce.com/〕 The Clearwater Paper stock began trading on December 17. Gordon L. Jones, who had been a vice president of Potlatch since July 2008, was chosen as the president and chief executive officer of Clearwater Paper. At the end of the spin off, two stand-alone entities remained, both publicly traded. These were Potlatch Corporation (NYSE:PCH) and Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE:CLW). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clearwater Paper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
