Rayonier Advanced Materials (RYAM) is a U.S.-based producer of bio‑based materials derived from wood, best known for high‑purity cellulose (cellulose specialties and commodity grades). Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the company operates manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada, and France. In addition to high‑purity cellulose, RYAM produces specialty paperboard and certain pulp products for industrial and packaging uses.
RYAM’s high‑purity cellulose is used as a critical input for downstream chemical derivatives such as cellulose acetate, ethers, and nitrocellulose, serving applications in filtration, coatings, pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, personal care, performance materials, and electronics. The company’s operations are centered on sustainably sourced wood feedstocks and bio‑refining processes that convert renewable biomass into higher‑value materials for chemical and consumer end markets.
