International Paper is a global leader in sustainable, renewable fiber-based packaging solutions with manufacturing operations in North America, Latin America, Europe, and North Africa. Net sales totaled $23.63 billion in 2025, reflecting the integration of DS Smith, acquired during the year. In January 2026, the company divested its Global Cellulose Fibers business for $1.5 billion to position itself as a pure-play packaging company.
The company applies an 80/20 performance system focused on simplification, customer segmentation, and disciplined capital allocation. International Paper has announced plans to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies in North America and EMEA, targeted for completion by late 2026 or early 2027, alongside investments in greenfield packaging facilities.
