Information for investors
Founded in 1899, Wausau Paper Mills Company was first publicly listed on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market in March 1974. In March 1998, the merger of Wausau Paper Mills with Mosinee Paper Corporation created the Wausau-Mosinee Paper Corporation. The company’s public listing was shifted to the New York Stock Exchange and its trading symbol changed to NYSE:WMO. In 2004, a re-branding and corporate identity initiative changed the name of the corporation to Wausau Paper. At that time the company’s stock trading symbol was also changed to NYSE:WPP.
Wausau Paper is a leading producer of premium printing, writing and technical specialty papers and towel and tissue products targeted at the “away-from-home” marketplace. We manufacture products that millions of people use everyday, such as commercial and laser-printing papers, résumé and stationery paper, masking tape, medical bandages, microwave popcorn packages and tissue and paper towels for public restrooms.
Well-defined core strategies define and differentiate Wausau Paper in an increasingly undifferentiated industry. Our strategic imperatives are straightforward: maximize those markets in which we enjoy competitive advantage; identify markets in which we can leverage our expertise and grow our business profitably; address underperforming aspects of our business; bring innovative new products to the markets we serve; and deliver exceptional customer service. We support these initiatives with operational proficiency–while constantly raising the bar on how we define excellence.
