Jackson Widjaja is the Indonesian owner of Domtar Corp., the largest pulp-and-paper company in Canada. Born into one of Asia's wealthiest families, he founded Paper Excellence Group in Canada in 2006, aiming to capitalize on the country's stable regulatory environment and rich natural resources. Mr. Widjaja has faced scrutiny for his rapid consolidation of the Canadian forest-products sector, including the acquisitions of Catalyst Paper Corp. and Resolute Forest Products.
