Located in South Central Pennsylvania, the Spring Grove facility
is a self-sufficient, fully integrated facility with hardwood and softwood kraft pulping
operations, six paper machines and two off-machine coaters. Its 1,000 employees produce
approximately 850 net tons of paper daily.
All papers made in Spring Grove are fully bleached, alkaline (acid-free) and groundwood
free.
The facility is energy self-sufficient, producing steam and power on-site. Excess
electricity produced with the co-generation boiler is sold to the electric grid for use by
homes and other businesses.
Environmentally, the facility is state of the art, featuring a newly modernized
pulpmill, which incorporates oxygen delignification and chlorine dioxide substitution in
the bleaching process, and is designed to meet or exceed federal, state and local air and
water standards.
