Company description

Clearwater Paper is recognized as a leading manufacturer and supplier of Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paperboard packaging products, serving independent converters throughout North America. We participate in the North American paperboard market, which encompasses approximately 10 million tons and is divided into three principal substrates, each offering a diverse array of applications. SBS constitutes nearly fifty percent of the market, while Coated Unbleached Kraft (CUK) and Coated Recycled Board (CRB) comprise the remaining substrates. The paperboard products produced are inherently sustainable, aligning with prevailing trends that favor renewable and recyclable materials. We believe we are strategically positioned to benefit from the increasing emphasis on sustainability within the industry. We produce paperboard that is then converted and printed by independent converters and primarily used in folding carton and food service applications. Additionally, minor amounts of pulp are sold to outside customers. We regularly pursue the development of new products and innovative solutions, with the objective of expanding and diversifying our paperboard portfolio. Our status as an independent, non-integrated supplier is considered fundamental to our value proposition, distinguishing us within the competitive landscape of the paperboard packaging industry. Our manufacturing facilities and all other assets are located within the continental United States.
