Marshall Joins Cosmo Specialty Fibers BOD

Scott Marshall will join the Cosmo Specialty Fibers Board of Directors. Marshall is a former VP of Operations Support for Weyerhaeuser Co., Federal Way, Wash., USA. Specialty Fibers, an affiliate of The Gores Group, was created in 2010 to restore, restart, and operate the former Weyerhaeuser Specialty Cellulose Mill in Cosmopolis, Wash.

Cosmo Chairman Dermot Smurfit noted Marshall's reputation in the industry. "We are extremely pleased that Scott accepted our invitation to join the board and look forward to benefiting from his many years of experience in the forest industry and with our mill in particular."

Marshall spent 35 years with Weyerhaeuser and, before retiring, became very familiar with the Cosmopolis mill and its business. "I am very pleased to be able to continue my association with the mill as a board member of Cosmo Specialty Fibers," said Marshall. "Over the years, the mill acquired a worldwide reputation for product quality and service. I look forward to partnering with The Gores Group and the board to build on that success."
