Hammermill Store

Hammermill is a leader and well-known brand within the paper, copy paper, colored paper and pulp industry. Currently owned by International Paper Company (acquired in 1987), Hammermill was founded in 1898 as the Ernst R Behrend Company and built its' first paper mill in Erie, Pennsylvania. Hammermill expanded its mill base in 1959 with the acquisition of the Oswego mill in New York.  For many years, this Hammermill mill made copier paper that was packaged exclusively for Xerox. The company continued its growth in the 1960's with the purchase of the Lock Haven, Pennsylvania mill in 1965. Also in 1965, construction began on the Riverdale pulp mill near Selma, Alabama.  At this facility in 1986, construction of a world-class paper machine was completed and in 1995, a bigger and faster copy paper machine was added.

A major innovation in papermaking technology occurred in 1952 when Hammermill developed the neutracel pulping process, allowing the company to be the first to make fine papers from hardwood pulp.  Papers produced using this process combined the benefits of a  high quality printing surface using hardwood with the durability previously only available using soft pulp.

Hammermill offers paper products and services such as Hammermill Paper & Pads.
