The Watermill Group Vision
Continuing it strategic vision of recycling recycled paper mills, the Watermill Group acquires bankrupt Manistique Papers (which produces 100% recycled uncoated paper grades) to complement its 2009 acquisition of FutureMark Paper Company (which produces 100% recycled coated paper grades). Both companies will share a common CEO but will operate separately while achieving economies of scale. This 2011 article states that their "green" business strategy rewards the company with 2-5% above average industry prices. No word though on how sister company MultiLayer Coating Technologies, LLC (acquired from Polaroid in 2006) is doing (other than they have some equipment for sale).
