Paper M&A

Less Paper Available

Stumpf has also noticed that paper manufacturers are no longer warehousing as much paper as they used to.

"In a lot of cases we have had a job come in and we call for the paper, and they don't have it in stock, and the mill is not going to make it until 'X' date—which is well after our job delivery date. So, again, we have to scramble to find a vendor with a similar product," he notes.
