a highly respected company in the paper and pulp trading industry and is very committed to supporting AIN to further develop its leading market positions. The divestiture of AIN would enable Constellium to focus on its core business – namely, the development and manufacturing of value added and innovative aluminium-based products.” Sir Adrian montague, Chairman of Cellmark Investment AB, remarked: “The
acquisition of AIN would mark an important step in Cellmark’s development. The technical expertise and strong market connections of AIN would complement our existing operations, and Cellmark’s access to capital, its cultural values and risk management expertise would offer our new AIN colleagues exciting opportunities to grow and develop the AIN business alongside Cellmark’s core activities in forest products. The combination of these two businesses would provide a platform to strengthen and develop our supply chain services for both commodities and specialties.” LM
