Our Operations

Mercer International Pulp Mills

Stressing our world-class, modern equipment and professional, focused approach to the market has raised Mercer's profile in Europe. We have also demonstrated our ability to supply high-quality pulp in guaranteed volumes, allowing us to form secure, long-term partnerships with our customers. The high quality of our fiber base allows all of our operations to capitalize on their unique blends to produce a select brand of pulp that meets our customers' stringent reinforcement requirements. As a result, we are well positioned to continue our growth strategy in lightweight printing and writing papers and personal hygiene products to meet increasing global demand. Our overall European strategy has been to develop a market that will accept the pulp from both German mills by differentiating customers and the pulps they prefer. Rosenthal, for example, is able to provide two distinct grades that offer optimal strength properties to satisfy our customers' diverse needs. Our Celgar mill is well-positioned to continue to supply the growing Asian markets. We are also becoming a supplier of choice for large North American customers who value our modern approach and facilities. Mercer's two mills in Germany are well located to service the European market. Our highly flexible and efficient supply chain allows our customers to significantly improve their working capital by reducing inventory. Stendal's customers show increasing confidence in our ability to deliver what we initially promised at the mill's start-up: premium, high-quality pulp, and consistent, on-time deliveries at market prices. This customer confidence has grown to the point where we have in many cases become the preferred supplier.

With the closure of aging North American NBSK pulp mills becoming a reality, NBSK customers face an era of tighter supply as capacity decreases. The advantages of buying pulp from Mercer's new mills are therefore clearer than ever: lower production costs will ensure long-term viability, and higher, more consistent quality will make Mercer the most reliable long-term partner.
