  • Description: Like a slurry of wood pulp coalescing into sheets of paper, the hundreds of small companies that have comprised the US paper industry since the 1800s have been merging with unprecedented speed. The tidal wave of mergers and acquisitions is an effort to combat poor financial performance by the North American paper industry and increased competition from low-cost global producers. But while many corporate strategists and financial analysts believe consolidation will result in better returns to capital, skeptics question whether it will be enough to bring stability to the highly cyclical industry.
