International Paper Company is a global leader in sustainable fiber-based packaging, pulp, and paper products. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol IP, the company supplies a diverse range of industries including consumer goods, industrial, and e-commerce. Its integrated operations span forestlands, manufacturing facilities, and distribution networks.
Founded in 1898 through the consolidation of multiple pulp and paper mills, International Paper has evolved through strategic acquisitions and divestitures to focus on core packaging and pulp businesses. Early investments in containerboard during the mid-20th century and later entry into specialty cellulose powders enhanced its product portfolio. Over the decades, the company has continually modernized operations to improve efficiency and environmental performance.
International Paper’s product offerings include containerboard and corrugated packaging solutions designed to protect and transport consumer and industrial goods. The company also produces bleached and unbleached pulp for tissue, packaging, and specialty paper applications. Additionally, it manufactures coated and uncoated printing, writing, and specialty papers under well-established brands that support publishing, commercial print, and office use.
With operations in North America, Latin America, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Russia, International Paper maintains a broad geographic footprint. The company sources its fiber from sustainably managed forests and promotes recycling initiatives to advance a circular economy. Under the leadership of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Sutton, International Paper continues to prioritize innovation, customer service, and sustainable forestry practices to drive long-term growth.
