Riverwood International Corporation
 PROFILE
Riverwood International is a CUK above the rest. That's because it's one of only two major producers of coated unbleached kraft (CUK) paperboard for packaged goods. (Mead is the other.) The company makes CUK board for packaging beverages (carrierboard) and consumer products (folding cartons). Its products are used by companies such as Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, and Nestlé. The company prints and cuts most of its carrierboard into beverage cartons and also makes and leases packaging machinery to its clients. Almost all of the cartonboard is sold to independent packagers. The company was taken private in 1995 by a group of investment firms. Clayton, Dubilier, & Rice and EXOR Group each own about 30% of the company.
