Citizens Advises BiOrigin Specialty Products on the Sale of its St. Catharines Tissue and Specialty Paper Mill to Marcal Paper

PROVIDENCE, RI – Citizens Capital Markets & Advisory announced that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to BiOrigin Specialty Products on the sale of its St. Catharines Tissue and Specialty Paper Mill to Marcal Paper, a portfolio company of Atlas Holdings.

Founded in 1912, the mill primarily produces high-quality TAD (“through-air-dried”) parent rolls used in premium paper towel and bath tissue products, as well as a broad portfolio of other grades.

“The sale of BSP’s St. Catharines mill streamlines the company’s footprint and focuses BSP’s mill system around our mission of producing specialty products across food packaging and niche tissue grades,” said Brian Crumbaugh, partner at Wynnchurch Capital. “Citizens found the right home for the mill with Marcal, while producing a highly attractive outcome for BSP.”

“Our team partnered closely with BSP and Wynnchurch in this important strategic transaction,” said Itai Bregman, managing director at Citizens. “We are confident the Mill’s rich history in paper making will continue to be upheld by Marcal, and we look forward to the continued success of both companies.”
