Domtar Paper Company is North America’s largest producer of uncoated freesheet paper. Situated near the Allegheny National Forest, the Johnsonburg Mill is a key asset in the Domtar portfolio playing a vital role in the company’s strategic plan.

The mill is well positioned for the future. Johnsonburg, in the heart of Elk County, offers fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, and skiing. The small town charm can be found in nearby cities like St Marys, Ridgway, and Kane that offer locally owned restaurants and quaint shops. Johnsonburg Mill is located between Buffalo, NY and Pittsburgh, PA for those who enjoy activities like sporting events or major concerts.
