Sappi is a global diversified woodfibre company
focused on providing dissolving wood pulp, specialities
and packaging papers, printing and writing papers, as
well as biomaterials and biochemicals to our direct and
indirect customer base across more than 150 countries.
Our dissolving wood pulp products are used worldwide
by converters to create viscose fibre for fashionable
clothing and textiles, pharmaceutical products, as
well as a wide range of consumer and household
products. Quality specialities and packaging papers
are used in the manufacture of such products as soup
sachets, luxury carry bags, cosmetic and confectionery
packaging, boxes for agricultural products for export,
tissue wadding for household tissue products and
casting and release papers used by suppliers to
the fashion, textiles, automobile and household
industries. Our market-leading range of coated and
uncoated graphic paper products are used by printers
in the production of books, brochures, magazines,
catalogues, direct mail, newspapers and many other
print applications.
The wood and pulp needed for our products is either

suppliers. Across the group, Sappi is close to ‘pulp
neutral’, meaning that we sell almost as much pulp as
