‘Vision & Trends’ website informs us that: “HAMELIN ACQUIRES CANSON MILL FROM ARJO-WIGGINS, FRANCE. Hamelin has completed the acquisition of the Moulin du Roy paper mill in Ardeche, France from Arjowiggins.
Four years after acquiring the Canson brand, the factory manufacturing the products of the brand has now become part of the Hamelin group. In 2007, an exclusive supply agreement had been reached with Arjowiggins, but the acquisition of the Moulin du Roy paper mill will allow Hamelin to secure supplies and to optimize product development and supply chains. The transaction amount was not disclosed.”
I do so hope that they continue to buy their fabulous range of coloured and special effect tracing paper range from Arjo, rather than feel the need to look elsewhere, which may be good for the embattled M-Real Zanders Reflex Mill, but not so good for a certain U.K. mill that specializes in that sort of thing, indeed originated the whole new generation of ‘tracing paper’ that is used for anything but tracing! I can but direct my readers to the exquisite CURIOUS TRANSLUCENTS range from Arjowiggins, at http://www.curiousstory.com/. Prepare to be amazed.
