Company profile

Company website

International Paper Company, established in 1898 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, functions as a leading global packaging enterprise. Its extensive operational footprint spans the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific Rim, Asia, and various other regions across the Americas. The company's business activities are structured into two principal divisions: Industrial Packaging and Global Cellulose Fibers. The Industrial Packaging segment is dedicated to producing a diverse range of containerboards, which encompass linerboard, medium, whitetop, recycled linerboard, recycled medium, and saturating kraft. Concurrently, the Global Cellulose Fibers division supplies fluff, market, and specialized pulps. These pulps are integral components for a wide array of products, including absorbent hygiene items such as baby diapers, feminine care, and adult incontinence products, alongside other non-woven goods, and traditional tissue and paper products. Additionally, they find application in numerous non-absorbent sectors like textiles, filtration systems, building materials, paints and protective coatings, reinforced plastics, and various other industrial uses. International Paper distributes its products directly to ultimate consumers and converters, as well as through an established network of agents, resellers, and paper distributors.
