History
Commencing operations in 1998 with a kraftliner machine capable of producing 200,000 tonnes, Nine Dragons has expanded its worldwide paper production to exceed 13 million tonnes.
Distinct from many international mills that depend on forest resources, Nine Dragons mainly utilizes recycled paper, handling over 10 million tonnes of fiber each year.
Employing more than 15,000 staff globally across nine production sites, the Dongguan plant is recognized as the largest concentrated paper mill worldwide, housing 15 machines that generate 5.25 million tonnes annually. Numerous locations feature integrated power stations, ports, and transportation facilities, with total power generation capacity surpassing 1,400 MW.
ND Paper’s U.S. headquarters is based in Oak Brook, Illinois.
In the United States, the company operates the Biron Mill and Rumford Mill and oversaw the Old Town paper mill from 2018 until its shutdown in 2023 due to elevated electricity and fiber expenses.
