Mission We deliver excellence through our products and people in sustainable ways.
Description Recognized for our outstanding products, collaborative service, and strategic insight, Clearwater Paper is proud to be a premier independent supplier of paperboard packaging products to North American converters.
Our history can be traced back more than 100 years. In the early 1900s, Frederick Weyerhaeuser and a group of investors founded Clearwater Timber Company, purchasing prime white pine forestland from railroad owners and other interests in north central Idaho. The Clearwater Timber Company and other forest products interests later merged together to create Potlatch Corporation. In 2008, Potlatch Corporation spun off its pulp and paper assets to create a completely new and separate corporation called Clearwater Paper.
Our company has a long history of manufacturing essential products that enhance everyday life for millions of people. We do this while maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and environmental stewardship. We actively engage with our employes and communities to help improve the quality of life for all.
In 2024, Clearwater Paper acquired our third pulp and paperboard mill and divested our tissue business to further our transformation into a premier independent supplier of paperboard packaging products to North American converters.
As we look towards the future, we will continue to look for ways to improve, scale and diversity our paperboard business while remaining committed to sustainability and our people.
