Clearwater Paper Corporation CLW

CLW Company Overview

Clearwater Paper Corporation is a U.S.-based manufacturer of consumer tissue products and paperboard packaging materials. The company operates primarily in the paper and forest products industry, serving both consumer and industrial end markets through the production of private-label tissue products and solid bleached sulfate (SBS) paperboard used in packaging applications. Clearwater Paper historically focused on retail private-brand tissue manufacturing for major grocery, warehouse club, and discount retailers, while also supplying paperboard products used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods packaging.

The company’s principal revenue drivers have included its tissue segment and its paperboard packaging operations, though its strategic profile evolved significantly following transactions involving its tissue business. Clearwater Paper traces its roots to operations formerly associated with Potlatch Corporation and became an independent publicly traded company in 2008 through a spin-off. Over time, the company invested in manufacturing modernization, packaging-grade paperboard capacity, and operational efficiency initiatives aimed at strengthening margins and positioning within North American packaging markets.
