MONTREAL — Rayonier Advanced Materials will "come to bat" to protect the interests of Tembec in the cross-border battle over softwood lumber, the head of the Florida-based company said Thursday after announcing a friendly takeover of the Quebec forestry firm.
The deal, valued at US$807 million including debt, would see the merged entity keep a Canadian headquarters in Montreal, with the main corporate office in Jacksonville, Fla.
