Driving Value. Creating Advantage.
At the heart of our promise to produce high-quality, sustainable products, is our ability to deliver quality service. We know that the challenges with rail freight in one country can impact ocean shipping in another. We understand that we’re not only competing within our industry, but we’re vying for premium service and affordable prices across the global marketplace.
That’s why we have reinvigorated our logistics strategy. Backed by our global manufacturing footprint, we’re building a transportation network that takes a holistic approach and is built on strong partnerships with reliable carriers. We strive to keep costs down and service flexible, on-demand and fast.
Our mission is clear. Our purpose is focused.
We are driving value and creating advantage like never before. We are building the strongest transportation network the packaging, pulp and paper industry has ever seen.
