Sappi North America’s Economic Responsibility

The Importance of Diversification
Jul 26, 2016 9:00 AM ET

Sappi has long operated three business units in North America—coated papers, release papers and pulp. In 2014 we added specialty packaging as a fourth business unit within the region. Combined with recent investments in our other three business units, we have increased the diversity of products we manufacture and are well positioned to retain our competitive advantage and increase profitability despite difficult market conditions. Our future depends on the success of all four business units.

“Making smart decisions and executing with speed are the most powerful elements of our new values statement. We must continue to make sound business decisions—based on market trends and customer needs—and implement those strategies with excellence to achieve our financial goals. I am confident that Sappi North America holds the key to economic sustainability with the right focus on optimization, diversification and growth.”
