Sappi Somerset, one of North America's largest paper mills, produces vast amounts of graphics and board paper, along with pulp.

State-of-the-art coated paper machines were installed in 1982, 1986, and 1990, with significant reinvestments over time. The mill expanded into SBS board grades with the PM1 rebuild in 2018, maintaining a focus on safety, quality, and productivity.
