Nekoosa, Wis. - June 16, 2005 - Dunsirn Partners LLC acquired the Specialty Papers Division of Imation Corporation on Wednesday. The newly established company name is Nekoosa Coated Products, LLC.

The buyer of the Nekoosa based company has big plans for the facility.

The facility will become its own company named Nekoosa Coated Products pending the sale expected to be finalized by the end of the month. And all 90 employees of the Imation site — including about 75 at the Nekoosa facility — will be rehired.

"It is our goal to grow the business," Dunsirn said. "That's the reason I'm investing in it. I would say that the facility is running at a relatively low capacity. We have a lot of opportunity to go out, develop new products and new markets to grow the business."
