The Paper & Forest Products industry encompasses companies involved in the manufacturing, converting, or processing of raw wood and pulp materials into commercial products. This includes the production of paper goods such as tissue, packaging materials, cardboard, and specialty paper, as well as forest-derived products like lumber, plywood, OSB, and engineered wood. Many of these businesses operate sawmills, paper mills, or conversion facilities, and supply building materials, industrial inputs, or consumer products.
Some firms may focus on sustainability through responsible sourcing, recycling, or innovative alternatives to plastic packaging. Others serve niche markets such as custom wood products or specialty cellulose for industrial applications.
Owner-led companies in this space often grow through investment in capacity, automation, or product line expansion. OwnerCo supports teams navigating growth, succession, or ownership transition while honoring the legacy and relationships they've built.
