Mercer International is a global forest products company focused on the production of market pulp and wood-based products, with operations in North America and Europe. Its core business centers on northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp, complemented by lumber and engineered wood activities.
For the chemical and advanced materials sectors, Mercer’s kraft pulp mills operate as integrated biorefineries, producing cellulosic pulp alongside bioenergy and wood-derived chemicals. Typical by-products include crude tall oil, turpentine, and lignin streams that can be upgraded for applications in resins, plastics, adhesives, carbon materials, and other performance products. The company is active in advancing the use of renewable, wood-based intermediates to diversify feedstocks and support the transition away from fossil-based raw materials.
