RAYONIER ADVANCED MATERIALS INC.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

We trace our history back to 1926, when the Rainier Pulp & Paper Company began operation in Washington State. Eleven years later, we emerged as a global leader. With three companies merging in 1937 to form Rayonier, we immediately became the single largest manufacturer of dissolving pulps in the world. In 1931, when DuPont sought a process to purify hemlock pulp for use in the production of rayon, they turned to us, planting the seeds for a partnership that led to innovation and fueled Rayonier’s growth. In the years since, we’ve built and maintained our position as the leading provider of high-purity performance fibers. In 2014, Rayonier Inc. divided its land resources businesses from its performance fibers business, creating two independent publicly traded companies. Completion of the acquisition of Tembec represents the opening of yet another new chapter for our company. We are now a global forest products company with products ranging from lumber, paperboard and newsprint to high-yield pulp and high-purity cellulose. We have expanded our international footprint to include global manufacturing operations in Canada and France in addition to our U.S. operations. We have increased opportunities for innovation and product diversification. We are even better positioned for future growth.
