Norske Skog Canada Limited
 PROFILE
Norske Skog Canada Limited is more than just a paper tiger, no matter who holds the leash. Formerly known as Fletcher Challenge Canada, the company produces newsprint, wood pulp, and containerboard for markets primarily in the US, Canada, and the Pacific Rim. Fletcher Challenge Canada had been controlled by New Zealand's diversified Fletcher Challenge Limited -- which had a 50.8% stake in the company -- but Norway-based Norske Skog has acquired that stake with the acquisition of Fletcher Challenge's paper division. Norske Skog Canada, which changed its name to reflect its new ownership, operates two mills in British Columbia. The company has also agreed to acquire rival Pacifica Papers.
