Makes uncoated printing and writing paper, spun off from International Paper, with mills across the Americas and Europe.
Sells uncoated freesheet, the white paper used in copiers and printers, by volume to merchants and printers, so profit depends on paper prices and mill running costs. Its Brazilian operations grow their own eucalyptus trees for pulp, which gives a low-cost base. It was spun off from International Paper in 2021.
Moat: none (scale). Commodity paper producer in a structurally declining print-paper market; scale is the main cost advantage.
