The company is financially based in the Netherlands with its headquarters in Richmond, British Columbia. It is the second largest pulp and paper producer in Canada.[1]
History
editPaper Excellence was founded in 2007 by its sole owner, Jackson Widjaja.[1] That year the company purchased a pulp mill in Meadow Lake, Saskaatchewan, the first of many acquisitions in Canada.[2] By 2010, Paper Excellence owned four pulp mills in British Columbia, as well as mills in Saskaatchewan, Nova Scotia and Alberta.[3]
In 2013, the company bought a pulp mill in Skookumchuck, B.C. from Tembec Inc.[4] By 2015, Paper Excellence had become the second-largest pulp and paper producer in Canada with 7 mills in Canada and 3 in Europe.[1]
In 2017, Paper Excellence expanded their presence to Brazil with the purchase of Eldorado Brasil Cellulose SA.[2] In 2018, the company purchased British Columbia-based Catalyst Paper Corp. Following that purchase, Paper Excellence had the capacity to produce two million tons of pulp a year.[5]
