Northern Pulp Nova Scotia Corporation (“NPNS”) was formed in 2008 with the acquisition of the Pictou Pulp Mill in Pictou, Nova Scotia from Neenah Paper, Inc.
 
The NPNS mill in Canada produces northern bleached softwood kraft pulp for use in making a variety of paper products. The NPNS mill has the capability to manufacture both softwood and hardwood pulp and various blends of each. This flexibility allows pulp production with specific characteristics to meet the individual demands of customers. The mill’s two major products are NPNS HARMONY® Softwood (northern bleached softwood kraft pulp) and NPNS Hardwood (northern bleached hardwood maple kraft pulp).
 
Its strategic location provides the mill with the ability to service customers in Europe or eastern North America. Northern bleached softwood kraft is recognized in the industry as premium pulp due to its properties of exceptional tensile strength and low coarseness, which provides an advantage in the production of paper and tissue products. The pulp produced from our mill has unique properties that make it the pulp of choice for our customers, which in turn allow them to make the product of choice for theirs.
