Interfor Corp.已同意以4.9億加元(約合3.858億美元)收購加拿大東部木材生產商EACOM木材公司100%的股權。
On Tuesday, the Burnaby, British Columbia-based lumber producer said it reached an agreement with an affiliate of Kelso & Co. to acquire the full equity interest of EACOM.
週二，這家總部位於不列顛哥倫比亞省伯納比的木材生產商表示，它與凱爾索公司(Kelso&Co.)的一家附屬公司達成了一項協議，將收購EACOM的全部股權。
The addition of EACOM will bring around 985 million board feet of production capacity of spruce-pine-fir a year across seven sawmills.
EACOM的加入將為七家鋸木廠帶來每年約9.85億板英尺的雲杉-鬆杉產能。

此外，它還將獲得一座年產7000萬直線英尺的i-Joist工廠，以及年產6000萬板英尺的再製造計劃。
