DOMTAR’S MARLBORO MILL
Domtar’s Bennettsville Mill, commonly referred to as the Marlboro
Mill in honor of the county in which it is located, is one of North
America’s newest pulp and paper manufacturing facilities. Named
for 19th century Governor Thomas Bennett, Bennettsville rose to
prominence because of its agricultural riches. The Pee Dee River,
which early on made Bennettsville one of South Carolina’s most
prosperous communities, also provided the perfect location for fine
paper manufacturing.

Domtar’s 13 pulp and paper mills in North America.
• The mill has one pulp line and one paper machine, with an annual paper
