Bio Pappel, through its subsidiary McKinley Paper Company, on Feb. 4 announced the acquisition of 100% of Midwest Paper Group, a privately held manufacturer and distributor of high quality recycled containerboard and natural kraft packaging grades.

Midwest Paper's corporate headquarters and paper mill are located in Combined Locks, Wisconsin. The company has about 320 employees and operates three paper machines. According to Bio Pappel, the mill has an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons.
