American Industrial Partners announced on January 23, 2026 that it had completed its acquisition of International Paper’s Global Cellulose Fibers business. GCF would operate as an independent company under the new ownership.
The announcement identifies fluff pulp for absorbent applications, including incontinence products, among the business’s products. The transaction changes ownership of an upstream supplier.
It is not a new-material launch or evidence of additional production capacity. Figures describing the business as a whole cannot be assigned exclusively to adult-incontinence products.
