In his new role, Mr. Berkowitz will continue to work out of Gould's Corporate Headquarters in New York City and will continue to report to Harry E. Gould Jr., Chairman and President of Gould Paper Corporation.
Mr. Berkowitz began his career in 1970 with Central Paper Company which was founded by his grandfather in Newark, New Jersey in 1920.

At the time of the sale, Mr. Berkowitz was Central Lewmar's Chairman and CEO.
Harry E. Gould Jr., Chairman and President of Gould Paper Corporation said: "David has been doing an exemplary job in running our North American operations and it is my intent to have him, during the rest of this year to familiarize himself with our foreign activities which include the various Price & Pierce locations, Gould UK and Gould Papiers France. In addition to showing our respect for the job he has done on the domestic side, this will also allow me to devote more time to growing and expanding our over-all activities. I, of course, will continue to maintain our relationships with all of our key customers and suppliers."
Gould Paper Corporation is one of North America's four largest distributors of printing and business papers.
