LOS ANGELES (News release) -- The Paper Excellence Group, a global diversified manufacturer of pulp and specialty, printing, writing, and packaging papers, today announced the successful closing of its previously-announced acquisition of Domtar (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS), a leading provider of fiber-based products. The acquisition further establishes Paper Excellence Group as an industry leader, significantly broadening its global reach and expanding its product range to include airlaid nonwovens and containerboard, in addition to significantly increased pulp and paper production.

"We are excited to welcome Domtar and its impressive team to the Paper Excellence family. Under John Williams and Domtar's capable management, we look forward to Domtar's continued success across its manufacturing network in the US and Canada."

"As part of the Paper Excellence Group, the future is bright for Domtar," said John Williams, President and CEO of Domtar. "We will continue to earn the right to be the supplier of choice to our customers with sustainable paper, pulp and packaging products."
