Texarkana Mill

Located at the crossroads of three states, Texarkana, Texas, is home to the Texarkana Mill. Although the Texarkana Mill produces bleached board for packaging, milk cartons, hot and cold drink cupstock and folding cartons, the mill is known for its community involvement as well. Through the International Paper Company Foundation and on behalf of volunteer work by employees, the Texarkana Mill donates a considerable sum annually to schools, nonprofit organizations and other charitable groups in the Ark-La-Tex area.

Capacity Ensuring Supply  The Texarkana Mill houses a woodyard, two paper machines, a pulp mill, a power plant, two extruders and a warehouse.  Approximately 1,700 tons of Everest® folding carton board, and Fortress™ cupstock and liquid packaging board are produced every day.  Produces more than 250,000 tons of Fortress cupstock each year.

Quality You Can Trust  Rigorous bleaching and washing steps are taken to transform the pulp into the bright white stock used in our paperboard.  Weight, caliper, moisture and more are continuously monitored in the computer control rooms.  Each reel is inspected, cut to exact-width rolls and wound to specific diameters.  ISO-9002 certified.

Ensuring Your Product is Environmentally Conscious  Uses a 100% Elemental Chlorine-Free (ECF) bleaching process.

Environment

International Paper has invested millions of dollars in environmental protection equipment at the Texarkana Mill. As a result, the mill was the first pulp and paper facility in the state of Texas to participate in Clean Industries 2000—a voluntary environmental impact reduction and prevention program sponsored by the Governor and the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission. We also exercise environmental efficiency by producing electricity and recycling water in-house. Every year, International Paper plants three new trees for every one we harvest. In an industry that relies on nature, International Paper strives daily to respect and protect our resources.
