Marlboro Mill: A Brief Look at 34 Years of Excellence

In many ways, the Marlboro Mill is one of a kind. Opened in 1990 in Bennettsville, South Carolina, the mill is the last greenfield mill built in the United States. It’s also the last fully integrated paper mill built in North America. And it takes a unique approach to employee training and safety.

“Other mills might have the technology we do, or they might even have advancements we don’t have, but they can’t beat us on people,” says Allan Bohn, general manager of the Marlboro Mill since 2022. “It’s what really sets us apart.”

Bohn speaks from experience. He’s worked in the industry for decades, including as general manager at our Plymouth and Ashdown mills. But the move to Marlboro has been a highlight of his career with Domtar, which began in 2005.
