Strategically located in Longview, Wash., close to several export ports and with ready access to Interstate 5, two rail lines and barge traffic on site, Longview is a major producer of kraft paper packaging. Our facilities include one of the highest-capacity and most diverse paper mills in North America and a network of well-equipped corrugated container plants in four Western states. We manufacture more than 70 grades of kraft paper and containerboard, and supply a broad range of corrugated packaging and solid fibre slip sheets. We supply our products to 35 countries worldwide.

But our strength isn’t just in our numbers or in our equipment or even in our eight decades of experience. It’s in our passion. Our people. Our capabilities. Our dedication to our craft, customers and planet. Small wonder some customer relationships span more than 50 years.
