Hoffman said: “CellMark’s newly combined Packaging & Paper division is a natural evolution within our business.
“Our sales, customer service, logistics, and finance teams are eager to collaborate and build value-added business in core markets around the globe, while also continuing our journey within new and emerging markets.

Based in Gothenburg, CellMark operates in more than 125 markets and has an annual production volume of more than seven million tonnes.
The company has more than 900 employees and reports annual sales of around $3.6bn.
In July last year, CellMark partnered with Total Fiber Recovery (TFR) to develop an $80m recycled pulp production facility in Chesapeake, Virginia.
The facility is intended to increase the Chesapeake region’s capacity to process recycled fibre, as well as produce clean recycled pulp for paper mills worldwide.
CellMark’s Recycling division will supply 300,000t of mixed paper and corrugated containers to the facility each year to use as feedstock.
