Clearwater Paper Corporation manufactures and supplies bleached paperboard, consumer tissue, and pulp products in the United States. The company operates through segments including Consumer Products (private label tissue products including bath tissue, paper towels, napkins, facial tissue) and Pulp and Paperboard (bleached paperboard sold to food and beverage packaging manufacturers, and softwood pulp). Clearwater Paper produces private label tissue for retailers including Walmart, Target, Costco, and regional grocers competing against branded products from Procter & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, and Georgia-Pacific. The company operates tissue and paperboard mills in Idaho, Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Utah. Founded in 2008 as a spin-off from Potlatch Corporation and headquartered in Spokane, Washington, Clearwater Paper has faced challenges from competitive tissue markets, elevated capital spending requirements, operational issues, and commodity price pressures. The company has worked to improve tissue manufacturing costs, optimize assets, and enhance commercial execution. Clearwater Paper faces intense competition, input cost inflation, and tissue pricing pressures. The company continues to focus on operational improvements and serving customer requirements.
