Denmaur Independent Papers makes acquisition

Paper and board merchant Denmaur Independent Papers has acquired the business and assets of the fine paper and conversion division from Middleton Paper Company Ltd. The acquisition will expand Denmaur’s storage capacity to 235,000 sq.ft. and grow its overall workforce to more than 120 people.

Denmaur chairman Harry E Gould Jr commented: “We are acquiring an on-going and profitable operation in Middleton, and although a slightly different business model, the combined strengths and differences of the two companies will generate added value and a unique opportunity for the UK paper and board market going forward.”
