“We are very pleased to welcome Mercer to the AFPA family,” said AFPA President and CEO Paul Whittaker. “Alberta has the most sustainably managed forests in the world and second to none manufacturing processes. Mercer’s reputation as an innovator and a great steward of our resources makes them an ideal partner for our Association. We look forward to working with them, and all of the companies that make up our Association, to tell our sustainability story, and grow markets at home and abroad.”
