Woodland Pulp: Local Leadership, Global Competitiveness, Paper360º May/June 2023
They don’t call Maine “The Pine Tree State” because of the lobsters. About 90 percent of Maine is forest, the highest level of any US state. In the northern part of Maine—the “backyard” of Woodland Pulp LLC—about 12 million acres of trees stretch up past the Canada border. Baileyville, the mill’s hometown, sits along that border, just up the St. Croix River from Passamaquoddy Bay.
Woodland Pulp has been an integral part of Baileyville since the mill was first built in 1906 as a groundwood facility hydro-pow-ered by the St. Croix. It has changed hands a few times since then; International Grand Investment Corp. (IGIC) acquired the mill from Domtar in 2010 for US$64 million. Today, Woodland is the largest market pulp supplier to the Northeast US. Along with its sister mills, St. Croix Chipping and St. Croix Tissue, Woodland Pulp plays a key role in the region’s pulp and paper markets.
