Georgia-Pacific to be bought in surprise move
By RENÉE DeGROSSThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 11/13/05
In a deal that stunned Georgia-Pacific chief executive A.D.
"Pete" Correll when it was first proposed to him last month and was just as surprising when publicly disclosed Sunday, Kansas-based Koch Industries will acquire G-P for $21 billion.
The move by privately held Koch combines the world's largest nylon maker with $60 billion in sales with Georgia's fifth-largest publicly traded company and the maker of well-known consumer products such as Brawny paper towels and Quilted Northern toilet paper.
