Calhoun Paper Mill, Tennessee

The Calhoun Paper Mill makes pulp, specialty paper, and paper tissue products, especially paper towels and toilet paper. Around 66,000 tons of tissue is produced here annually, serving the private label market, such as grocery store brands.  The mill, northeast of Chattanooga, employs more than 500 people. It was purchased from the Atlas Paper Company in 2015 by the Montreal-based Resolute Forest Products Company. The company operates a few other tissue mills, but this is the company’s largest mill in the USA.
