The hand towel market consists of sales of hand towel, which is a rectangular piece of absorbent paper made from tissue paper instead of cloth. Paper towels soak up water because they are loosely woven which enables water to travel between them, even against gravity (capillary effect). Paper towels can be individually packed (as stacks of folded towels or held coiled) or come in rolls. Paper towels have similar purposes to conventional towels, such as drying hands, wiping the hands or face,windows, dusting, and cleaning up spills.

This acquisition will benefit Cascades in it's strategic long term growth plan in tissue platform. It will enhance the ability to serve customers, increase the quality of the products, and improve the profitability of the company.
