Sappi was formed in South Africa in 1936 to serve South African consumers with locally produced paper. Sappi Paper and Paper Packaging continues this tradition by innovating and developing new products to meet local demand for:
- newsprint,
- coated and uncoated fine papers,
- office and business papers (stationery, printing and photocopying),
- security and speciality papers (passports and election ballot papers),
- containerboard (such as cardboard boxes used for exporting fruit and cucumbers) and
- packaging paper (such as bags for cement, dog food, potatoes and shopping bags).
- Bleached paper-pulp produced is sold on the South African and global paper markets.
Headquartered in Johannesburg (South Africa), the division operates five pulp and paper mills and has a production capacity of 1.1 million tons of paper and one million tons of pulp per annum.
