Currently Atlantic’s existing Ohio linerboard mill produces 780 tons per day of linerboard, which represents a mere 1.8% of the nation’s linerboard capacity. This is far below the 150,000 tons of linerboard that Atlantic purchases every year from its competitors. Consequently, with such a tight market, linerboard could either become unavailable or available at very expensive prices. If Atlantic pursues their acquisition strategy in purchasing the linerboard mills from Royal, this could help greatly in strengthening Atlantic’s linerboard capacity and ensure to retain their box plants profits. With Royal’s current Monticello mill producing kraft paper and linerboard, this would require $140.8 million to convert all of the mill’s kraft capacity to

The Ten Commandments, a collection of regulations set out for the Hebrew people, were said to have been delivered to Moses around the thirteenth century BCE, while he was on Mount Sinai, by the Hebrew God, Yahweh. The foundation of Hebrew morals and laws were constructed solely on the Ten Commandments, from which they then formed additional specific laws under each category of the Ten Commandments.
