Working at White Birch Paper
We are a family-owned and operated company and it is this aspect that distinguishes us. Although we operate four of the top 10 newsprint machines in the world, machines don’t make paper—people make paper. At the heart of every roll of paper we produce is the dedication of our employees. This is why we are committed to the development and safety of our employees through extensive training and safety programs as well as the sustainability of our operations. It is the achievement and success of our employees that make us who we are.
Strive. Excel. Advance.

As part of these company-wide efforts, we strive to be a market leader in every way, including safety, quality efficiency and sustainability. We excel by focusing on optimization, quality, strong investments and flexibility. And we advance by actively seeking new opportunities and quickly adapting to the dynamic conditions of our industry. All of this is made possible as result of the deep commitment and development of our employees.
