More than 40 jobs have been secured at an Essex paper manufacturer which fell into administration at the start of the year.
Arjobex's base in Clacton-on-Sea has been saved after being sold to French private equity firm Prudentia Capital.
The deal, which was completed last week, has secured all 48 jobs at the site.

In January, the UK operation was forced to enter administration as its parent company Sequana entered protection proceedings in France.
Glyn Mummery and Geoff Rowley, partners at specialist business advisory firm FRP Advisory, were appointed as joint administrators for the Arjobex UK business and had been continuing to trade the business.
Mr Mummery said: "After continuing to trade the business since January, we are delighted to have secured a deal which not only gives the Arjobex business a sustainable future, but also preserves jobs in the local community.
"We wish the team at Prudentia every success as they take the business forward."
