The acquisition will almost triple Ahlstrom-Munksjö's net sales in the United States and is set out to provide a platform for further growth, as lesprom.com reports. The collective annual sales of Ahlstrom-Munksjö and Expera - together with the acquisition of Caieiras (a Brazilian paper factory) announced in April - amounts to almost €3 bn. for last year.
