Mosinee, Wisconsin, USA 25 September 2014 -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wausau Paper (NYSE:WPP) announced the launch of its new Alliance™ high-capacity electronic roll towel dispensing system featuring twice the capacity of typical roll towel dispensers. The revolutionary design of the Alliance accommodates two full rolls - up to 1,000 feet each. With its patent-pending innovative design, the Alliance offers seamless transfer by automatically switching to the second roll when the first is completely depleted. This unique transfer feature results in fewer service interruptions and reduced maintenance time. Combined with Wausau's EcoSoft^®, DublNature^® or Artisan™ Green Seal^™-certified toweling, Alliance offers a new, unique hand-drying experience superior to other systems in the market.

Alliance's unprecedented capacity, combined with selectable dispense modes and paper lengths, makes the dispenser ideal for airports, commercial offices, lodging establishments, healthcare facilities, colleges/universities, stadiums or any application with heavy traffic.

"Wausau Paper is excited to remain at the forefront of new and innovative away-from-home market dispensing technology. Many years ago, the Company was the first to introduce an electronic roll towel dispenser. Now, the Alliance is the first system to accommodate two full roll towels with automatic transfer," commented Matthew L. Urmanski, president and chief operating officer. "Unlike any other system, Alliance offers extraordinary capacity - the highest in the industry - while maintaining a traditional wall space footprint. We are confident the uniqueness of Alliance will satisfy end-user needs for high capacity and touch free."
