Wiggins company history timeline

1989

To fight off the attack, BAT instead spun off its paper division in 1989.

1989: Wiggins Teape and Appleton Papers are spun off from BAT.

1990

1990: Wiggins Teape and Appleton Papers merge.

1991

By 1991, Wiggins Teape Appleton, which maintained BAT's former global leading position in the carbonless paper market, sought to extend its market dominance into other paper product sectors.

1993

Wiggins became just the second player since the ABA–NBA merger to be drafted as the number one pick, only to be traded afterwards without playing a single game for the team he was originally selected for; Chris Webber was the first following the 1993 draft.

1995

Meanwhile, Arjo Wiggins Appleton continued the restructuring begun in 1995, including cutting more jobs.

Despite maintaining profitability through the second half of the decade, the company's revenues were slipping, back from a high of £3.56 billion in 1995.

1996

In 1996, the company announced a new series of job cuts across its European operations, amounting to some seven percent of its European workforce.

The collapse of pulp prices opened the way for a wave of consolidation moves across the paper industry, highlighted by the merger between Kimberly-Clark and Scott Paper in 1996.

1997

In 1997, Arjo Wiggins Appleton, too, began looking for partners--turning to South Africa's Sappi International for a merger of the two companies' coated wood-free papers operations.

1999

A thorough restructuring starting in 1999, led by Chairman Ken Minton, reorganized the company into separate operating companies grouped along product lines, each with its own chief executive officer.

These two divisions together accounted for a little more than half of Arjo Wiggins Appleton's 1999 sales of £3.36 billion.

Instead of a single CEO for the entire group, each division was appointed its own chief executive, resulting in the departure of Beylier in 1999.

2000

The company also made a series of strategic acquisitions, including the purchases of Papel del Solto, of Brazil, in January 2000, and Van Houton Palm, a Netherlands manufacturer of banknote paper, in February.

On December 18, he recorded 32 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in a 99–95 win over the Sacramento Kings, joining LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Tobias Harris as the only players 20 or younger to record at least 30 points, 10 boards and five assists in a game since 2000.

After beginning the Antalis demerger process, expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2000, the company regrouped around its two remaining divisions--Carbonless and Thermal papers, and Premium Fine, Specialty & Coated papers.

2000: Merchanting division spun off as independent company.
