DOMTAR’S ESPANOLA MILL
Originally founded along the Spanish River in Northern Ontario as a
company-owned town in the early 1900s, Espanola was established
by the Spanish River Pulp and Paper company. Over the years,
the mill changed ownership multiple times until finally being bought
by Domtar in 1998. Today, the Espanola Mill is still very much a
reflection of the town that it shaped, manufacturing high quality
Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp.
The Basics:
• The Domtar Espanola Mill is located in Espanola, Ontario and is one of
Domtar’s 13 pulp and paper mills in North America.
