Boise Cascade
Boise Cascade Holdings, LLC, which uses the trade name Boise, is an American pulp and paper company, ranked as the thirteenth biggest pulp and paper company in the world. It is composed of the assets sold off when Boise Cascade Corporation renamed itself OfficeMax Inc. (after buying a company of the same name).
Boise Cascade Corporation
Boise Cascade Corporation was established in 1957 as the result of the merger between Boise Payette Lumber Company of Boise and the Cascade Lumber Company of Yakima, Washington.
In the 1960's, Boise Cascade acquired a majority interest in Cuban Electric Co., which was the primary electric utility in pre-Castro Cuba.[1]
In November 2004, the corporation completed its sale of its paper, building products, and timberland assets to Madison Dearborn Partners, a private equity investment firm. It then renamed itself OfficeMax, which it had acquired in 2003.
Boise Cascade Holdings, LLC
Following the sale, Madison Dearborn Partners then reorganized its newly acquired assets into Boise Cascade Holdings LLC, a limited liability company.
Boise Cascade is headquartered in downtown Boise, Idaho.
The company is not related to the Canadian paper company Cascades.
