IP Pensacola Mill Celebrates 75 Years Of Operations
October 9, 2016
The International Paper Pensacola Mill in Cantonment celebrated 75 years of operation on Saturday. The front lawn of the plant transformed into a day of fun for retirees, employees and their families with games, kids activities, arts and crafts, music, food and more.
The Pensacola Mill started operations with one paper machine on a 600 acre site in 1941. The new mill was built at a cost of $2.5 million and was owned by Florida Pulp and Paper Company. The mill produced 75 tons of paper, or 20,000 tons per year. The mill provided jobs for about 620 people — 370 in the mill and 250 in forestry or related positions.
A second machine came on line with a daily production of 75 tons of paper in 1944 to produce ammunition container board.
The Pensacola Mill became a wholly owned subsidiary of the St. Regis Paper Company in 1946 and merged with St. Regis in 1949.
Champion International Corporation and St. Regis merged in 1984, and International Paper acquired Champion in 2000.
