Next is Now: Domtar Celebrates 175 Years in 2023

In 2023, Domtar is celebrating 175 years of manufacturing products people use every day.

Our company is built on more than a century of anticipating what our customers need and what consumers want to buy for everyday living. Our story is one of successful reinvention, and as we continue to change and grow, we take confidence from our strong legacy. Our next chapter begins now.

Rooted in Reinvention
Our roots trace back to 19th-century England. That’s when Henry Potter Burt established Burt, Boulton Holdings Ltd. His company specialized in treating lumber to prevent decay, and business boomed as demand for railway ties and wharf pilings grew in Europe and North America.

As the company grew, he moved to Canada and founded Dominion Tar and Chemical Company in 1903. We grew along with Canada’s industrialization and diversified over the years, making products including chemicals, consumer products, construction materials, and paper and packaging. Over the years, we purchased other facilities and companies across North America, some of which are integral parts of Domtar today.

A Preferred Partner
Today we are a critical and reliable supplier to a diverse set of businesses in pulp, paper and packaging. Our fiber is in products people use every day, from bath tissue to book paper.

As a leader in our industry, we provide solutions to ensure a sustainable and better future for ourselves, our customers, our communities, and the environment. We are proud of the work we do together as stewards of natural resources, an employer of choice and a significant community investor.
