 PROFILE
Chesapeake has rewrapped its core business to concentrate on specialty packaging. The company has sold its industrial tissue business and most of its timberland, and has announced its intention to sell its display and corrugated containers businesses. This leaves the company free to focus on its new core: specialty packaging in Europe. Its products include paperboard and plastic packaging for the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and specialty chemical industries. France and the UK together account for almost 85% of the company's sales. The company is selling is remaining timberland to residential and commercial developers.
