The Boyer Story

The Boyer Paper Mill is named after the Boyer family, pioneers who settled in the area in 1868.

From its early beginnings in 1941, the mill became the world’s first producer of eucalypt newsprint, setting the stage for ongoing innovation in the paper manufacturing industry.

Today, the mill operates on 565 hectares of land, with the paper operations occupying around 50 hectares of that area.
