Mercer International is a global forest products company focused on the production of market pulp, wood products, and bio-based energy. The company operates large-scale kraft pulp mills in Canada and Germany that primarily produce northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) and, in some locations, northern bleached hardwood kraft (NBHK) for use in tissue, printing and writing, packaging, and specialty applications.
Beyond pulp, Mercer manufactures engineered wood products through its mass timber operations and runs a large sawmill in Germany. Its integrated mills generate renewable power from biomass, supplying process energy and exporting surplus electricity. Mercer also produces and markets by-products and biochemicals derived from the pulping process, such as tall oil and turpentine, which serve a range of chemical and materials industries. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Mercer International is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker MERC.
