INDUSTRY INFORMATION
CEO LETTER ~ FINANCIALS ~ NEWS RELEASES

Giant Bowater Incorporated, headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, is a major producer of wood fiber products. The company produces coated papers, book papers, newsprint, groundwood specialty papers, market pulp, directory paper and lumber products. In the United States, Bowater is the largest manufacturer of both newsprint and directory paper, and North America's largest manufacturer of coated groundwood paper. The company's products are marketed worldwide and most are available with recycled content.

Bowater owns and operates manufacturing facilities in Catawba, South Carolina; Calhoun, Tennessee; Millinocket and East Millinocket, Maine; and Liverpool, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Supporting these operations are 3.6 million acres of timberlands controlled by the company. Approximately one-half of this total is located in Maine, with the balance split between the southeastern United States and Nova Scotia. This timberland base also supplies the company's three sawmills, which produce construction grade lumber in Alabama, Maine and Nova Scotia.

Bowater is organized into three operating units:

Bowater Newsprint

Each division is responsible for its customer relations, product marketing, profitability, asset management and capital priorities. Click on the highlighted division for more information or e-mail Bowater.
