Pulp & Paper Company Profiles
Click the “Companies” tab. Then click the “+” to expand the Top Companies list or click on Top 25 Companies or All Top Companies. You can click on any company name in the list to view its profile.
Clicking on Show Updates will show you the date when company financials or other company information has last been updated.
You can also search by company name, grade and region by clicking the “+” next to Region or Grade/Product to select your search criteria. Then click the “View Search” button to view your custom list.
You can jump between the Company and the Capacity tabs to see a capacity report, by grade or by total capacity:
Or to see the total market share of the company in a pie-chart and percentage of the total capacity:
Click on any company name in your custom list to get more information on the company; or export your list to Excel.
Selecting a company name opens the company homepage with key details such as location and contacts, financial results (where available), mill locations, capacity distribution, company overview, recent Fastmarkets news, and key headquarters personnel.
My Notes lets you add private notes about the company that are visible only to you. Group Notes show notes shared by other users at your company.
Most pages in the Companies section can be exported to Word, and some also to Excel.
Use the tabs at the top to view the company’s capacity, assets, consumption, projects, financials, M&A activity, and sustainability data.
Clicking on the Capacity tab will show an alphabetical list of pulp and paper grades and their capacities at this company:
The Assets tab displays a map of mill and headquarters locations and a list of all mills with their capacities by grade. Select a map icon or mill name to open the mill details page in the Mill Assets Database.
On the Consumption tab, select between Fiber Consumption, Chemicals, and Energy to view how the company’s mills consume key inputs.
Note: Consumption figures are based on Fastmarkets RISI mill‑level estimates for fully owned mills and should be viewed as indicative, not exact.
On the Consumption page, you can view consumption by region (for companies with mills in multiple regions) and by grade produced.
Fiber Consumption includes Natural Fiber (wood for integrated pulp), Market Pulp, and Recovered Paper.
The Chemicals section shows consumption of additives only, including starch, coating, and filler.
The Energy section shows consumption of purchased fuels and on‑site produced energy, as well as energy sold to the market or grid. Sold energy is typically generated at mill sites and represents company revenue.
The Projects tab lists all projects from the Projects database linked to the company’s mills. Projects may predate the company’s ownership of the mills. Results are sorted by Last Updated by default but can be reordered using other criteria.
The Financial tab is available only for publicly listed companies among the top 60 Pulp & Paper companies. Notes may highlight recent changes. Links to quarterly, half‑year, or annual results and press releases redirect to the company’s website.
Fastmarkets RISI also provides a company financials database with key financial metrics. By default, the Graphs view is shown. Switch to Annual Data or Quarterly Data to access historical financial data going back several years.
For merged companies (e.g. Smurfit Westrock), combined financials are shown from the date the merged entity begins reporting. Prior to that, financials reflect the pre‑merger company (e.g. Smurfit Kappa), based on the current headquarters location.
The M&A section shows the company’s mergers and acquisitions, as well as major investments.
