One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions
International Packaging and Paper
International Paper is an American company with multinational operations that’s active in the production of paper and associated products. The company provides a range of products that include printing paper, packaging solutions for different industries, and cellulose fibers. It also manages numerous mills and production facilities worldwide. International Paper is headquartered in Corinth, New York, and its shares are listed on the NYSE.
A Merger Between 18 Mills
International Paper was formed in 1898 through the merger of 18 pulp and paper mills in the northeastern United States. Its early focus was on producing newsprint, with the company growing rapidly through acquisitions, expansions, and by supplying local industry with paper of various kinds. While the company still produces paper and various other related products, the advent of digital media has meant that International Paper has increased its focus on packaging products to better adapt to the time. Today, the company's primary operations encompass three core segments: Industrial Packaging, Global Cellulose Fibers, and Printing Papers.
Industrial Packaging, Global Cellulose Fibers, and Printing Papers
Industrial Packaging: This segment manufactures container boards, which are the raw materials for corrugated boxes – an essential component in packaging and shipping. The company also offers packaging solutions and services, catering to a wide range of industries, from food and beverage to industrial products.
Global Cellulose Fibers: In this segment, International Paper produces fluff, market, and specialty pulps. These materials are critical in the manufacture of products like diapers, tissue, and other personal hygiene products that are in constant demand globally.
Printing Papers: This segment involves the production of printing and writing papers used in both commercial and consumer settings. Products include high-quality papers used in office environments, commercial printing, and retail applications. As previously mentioned, the digital era has impacted the demand for traditional printing paper, this segment continues to be a significant part of International Paper’s portfolio.
Competitors
While International Paper is one of the largest companies in its niche in the world, they’re far from being the only publicly listed company with a focus on paper and packaging. Some publicly listed peers are WestRock Company, Smurfit Kappa Group, and Packaging Corporation of America.
