		<description><![CDATA[MeadWestvaco Corporation (MWV) moves closer to the completion of its merger with ACCO Brands Corporation (ABD). Shareholders of ACCO Brands have given a go-ahead for the issue of common stock required for the completion of the merger. The new share issues will be traded from April 24, 2012 in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with the ticker symbol of “ACCO wi”. Both the companies are hopeful about the completion of the merger before the market opens on May 1, 2012. The merger, however, will be conditional on several stipulations.  One such prerequisite is that from that day onwards, ACCO Brands will change its ticker symbol from ABD to ACCO. It was in November 2011 that MeadWestvaco announced its decision to spin-off its Consumer and Office Products Business into a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The International Paper (IP) – Temple-Inland (TIN) merger has been delayed as both parties have agreed to extend the U.S. Department of Justice&#8217;s (DOJ) review period till February 13, 2012. The extended timeline will provide both parties the time to resolve DOJ&#8217;s concerns regarding the transaction and enter into a definitive agreement on terms that are acceptable to all. The DOJ approval remains the only hurdle in the creation of a company that would enjoy about 40% share of the North American corrugated packaging materials market. In December last year, the merger had been approved by more than 98% of Temple’s shareholders. The pursuit of Temple-Inland had begun in June with International Paper making a $3.3 billion or $30.60 per share offer, all in cash, to buy the former. However, Temple-Inland rejected ]]></description>

For the full year 2011, the company expects pre-tax income in the range of $835 million to $845 million. Meanwhile, free cash flow from operations is expected to be $550 million for the year. The company stated that soft demand in the U.S. and European packaging markets led to a fall in production rates and sales volume during the quarter. Earlier, the company had divulged that it intends to achieve $1 billion of incremental revenues over the next three to five years by pursuing growth strategies like commercial excellence, focus on emerging markets, and product innovation.

This clears a major hurdle in the creation of a company that would enjoy about 40% share of the North American corrugated packaging materials market. There is only one remaining hurdle – the receipt of the important regulatory approval. The chase for Temple-Inland had begun in June with International Paper making a $3.3 billion or $30.60 per share offer, all in cash, to buy Temple-Inland Inc. However, Temple-Inland rejected the offer stating it grossly undervalued its business and was, therefore, not in the best interest of its shareholders. Finally, in September, International Paper inked a deal to acquire Temple-Inland for $32.00 per share in cash. The deal also included assumption of $600 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MeadWestvaco Corporation (MWV) recently announced its plan to invest $285 million for building a new state-of-the-art biomass boiler and upgrading the power infrastructure associated with it at its Covington, Virginia, facility. This strategic investment not only improves the profitability of the company but also sharpens its competitive edge in providing high quality paper board packaging for the food, healthcare and tobacco markets across the globe. Besides, the upgrade of power infrastructure makes the facility self-sufficient in electric power and stream generation, thereby reducing the ongoing operating and maintenance costs. The Covington facility in Virginia, the world’s largest solid bleached sulfate (SBS) mill, produces roughly 900,000 tons of high-quality SBS for some of the world’s well known tobacco, food, healthcare and personal care brands and exports nearly 50% of its production ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MeadWestvaco Corp. (MWV) reported fourth-quarter 2009 results before the opening bell today. The company swung to a GAAP net profit from continuing operations of $51 million from a GAAP net loss of $16 million in the year-ago period. Excluding special items, earnings per share came in at 22 cents, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents derived from 12 covering analysts. Sales increased marginally by 2.5% to $1.64 billion, compared to $1.60 billion in the year-ago period. The growth was mainly attributable to favorable foreign currency translations, which more than offset sluggish volumes caused by macroeconomic headwinds. In terms of segments, MeadWestvaco&#8217;s flagship Packaging Resources business recorded an 11% decline in profit from continuing operations to $40 million from $45 million in the prior-year quarter. Sales grew marginally ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[International Paper Co. (IP) reported third-quarter EPS of 37 cents, above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 23 cents. The better-than-expected quarterly results were driven by the company’s overhead cost reduction efforts as well as integration synergies in its industrial packing business. However, quarterly EPS declined 56.0% from 84 cents in the prior year quarter. Quarterly sales of $5.9 billion were 13.1% lower than the year-ago sales of $6.8 billion. The company’s packaging business has been adversely impacted by declining consumer spending, while the paper business is affected by lower commercial printing and advertising activity, and deteriorating white-collar employment levels, which impact the usage of copy and laser printer paper. To offset the impact of lower sales, the company continues to focus on managing its overhead costs. The company is confident ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Packaging solution provider MeadWestvaco Corp. (MWV) recently agreed to sell its Specialty Papers business in South Lee, Massachusetts, to Onyx Specialty Papers Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, MeadWestvaco Corp. (MWV) executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form a strategic alliance with Albemarle Corporation (ALB) to supply activated carbon products in the U.S. This alliance will serve the emerging mercury removal market for the coal-fired power industry. Unlike other U.S. activated carbon producers, which make their sorbents from coal or lignite, MeadWestvaco Specialty Chemicals manufactures its carbons from wood. The company produces high quality activated carbons for use in the some of the most challenging purification applications, such as the automotive industry. On the other hand, Albemarle is an established supplier of mercury control solutions and is the largest bromine producer in North America. Under the terms of this alliance, the two companies will jointly develop brominated wood-based activated carbons for use in mercury control. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Institute of Supply Management’s (ISM) Purchasing Managers Index, a closely watched gauge of manufacturing activity, rose to 52.9 in August from 48.9 in June. It was also well above the 50.5 consensus expectations. With this index, 50 is the magic number that separates expansion from contraction, so this reading is showing growth in the manufacturing sector.  This was the highest reading on the index since June 2007. It is one more strong bit of evidence that the recession is now over. The index has risen in every month since December when it hit a record low of 32.9. However, all of the previous improvements simply meant that the manufacturing economy was shrinking at a slower pace. This is the first time we have seen an actual expansion in a very ]]></description>
