About us
Research and development
Research and developmentWorking on tomorrow’s solutions.
Our roots can be traced back as far as 1854 to the S D Warren Company, which owned and operated the Westbrook Mill and two other US paper mills, up until its acquisition by Sappi Limited in 1994. Nearly a decade later, we acquired the Cloquet Mill adding it to the Sappi family in 2002. Today, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with three mills and over 2,100 employees, we continue that legacy of innovation and quality as a preeminent producer of printing and packaging papers, release paper and dissolving pulp.
A commitment to sustainability permeates our culture at Sappi. Sappi continues to invest in projects to reduce solid waste, wastewater and air emission, and improve water and energy utilization. Each of our mills implements internationally-recognized environmental management systems to ensure that current and planned operations and expansions meet all legislative requirements. We are also committed to improving the communities where our employees live and work. Through corporate sponsorships that support education and science, we firmly believe in investing both money and time in the health and wellbeing of our communities.
Sappi North America is a subsidiary of Sappi Limited (JSE), a global company headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, with over 12,700 employees and manufacturing operations on three continents in seven countries and customers in more than 100 countries.
