Top Paper Producers

Pulp and Paper International just reported on the top producers for 2008. The list illustrates some changes in that several mills merged or shuttered equipment. International Paper remains at #1, but two Chinese names entered the list, Shandong Chenming and Nine Dragons. Also companies such as Koch (GP), Kruger, White Birch, Asia Pulp and Paper, and APRIL did not make this list. Check Coy Paper's web site on Industry Resources Tab for more details.
