"I'm pleased with our strong cash generation this quarter despite an uneven global economy and rising input costs," said Mark Sutton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see stable to improved market demand across most of our businesses, particularly North American Industrial Packaging. We have begun to implement the NA containerboard and box price increases and we remain focused on a fourth quarter close of the Weyerhaeuser pulp business acquisition.
