Ahlstrom Completes the Acquisition of Pixelle’s Stevens Point Paper Mill

The global water purification market is fast-moving with continuous advancements in technologies and applications. There is an increased focus on more sustainable solutions to address the growing concerns about water quality and the need for reliable water purification solutions. Ahlstrom supports the water purification market and contributes to the availability of clean water by launching a new water filtration solution for enhanced particulate removal in pre-filtration applications. The new filter material can be used as a stand-alone or as a complement to the existing Ahlstrom Disruptor® and Hollytex® ranges. The new pre-filter is suitable for both residential and industrial uses. It removes contaminants such as rust, sand, and other debris that may end up in water pipelines, ensuring the highest quality of water. The pre-filter delivers superior performance and quality consistency when used as a pleated filter design.

Our Kingsport Mill was named the 2024 Business Recycler of the Year by the Tennessee Recycling Coalition (TRC) during the organization’s annual Tennessee Sustainability Conference. The award is given annually to businesses that practice outstanding leadership in recycling and waste prevention. The Kingsport Mill award recognizes Project Smoky — the conversion of the facility’s uncoated freesheet paper machine into the company’s first 100-percent recycled containerboard facility. The mill, which resumed operations in January 2023, is home to the second-largest recycled containerboard machine in North America and is the largest recycled manufacturer in the state of Tennessee. Kingsport Mill now produces approximately 600,000 tons of high-quality recycled linerboard and corrugated medium every year.
