Hartford City Paper (“HCP”) is a manufacturer of 100%-recycled papers primarily used in the production of corrugated packaging. HCP produces a variety of grades; corrugating medium, tube and core stock and recycled sack kraft. Corrugating medium is the fluting between two sheets of linerboard forming a corrugated sheet. Tube and core stock grades are slit into narrow ribbons then wound into cores for use in the tissue and toweling industries among others. Sack kraft grades are used in the production of a variety of bags and sacks from shopping sacks to biodegradable lawn refuse bags.
 
Located in east-central Indiana, HCP is ideally situated to serve the large corrugated container industry in the Midwest. While HCP does supply some large national and international integrated paper and box companies, HCP’s primary customer base is the independent corrugated converter. The independent corrugated converter is typically a smaller, often family-owned, business competing head-to-head with large multi-national companies. To survive and succeed, these independent converters must be competitive and responsive to market place demands. Hartford City Paper has carved out its niche serving this dynamic and demanding market.
 
While located at a site that has produced paper for over a century, HCP utilizes some of the latest technology in its production process. HCP began production in 1990 as Visy Recycle Inc. Initially producing 175 tons per day, the business has continually reinvested in the mill and now produces over 350 tons per day. Through HCP Recycling, the Company’s waste paper collection division, HCP is active in sourcing and delivering waste paper to the mill. HCP Recycling currently collects 50% of the mill’s OCC requirements.
