Recovery Superintendent

**About us**

**Thunder Bay Pulp & Paper** is a leading northern bleached softwood kraft and northern bleached hardwood kraft pulp, paper, newsprint and directory producer. Located on Lake Superior, the Thunder Bay mill has been a landmark company of northwestern Ontario since 1919. In August 2023, Atlas Holdings established Thunder Bay Pulp & Paper as an independent pulp and paper operation, joining Atlas’ global family of manufacturing and distribution businesses.

We acknowledge that Thunder Bay Pulp and Paper Inc. (TBPP) is located within the traditional territories of the Fort William First Nation. We also acknowledge gratitude for the contributions of Indigenous Peoples who have come before us and cared for the land and water in a way that allows us all to continue to work and gather today. At TBPP, everyone is responsible, every day, and we are mindful of our responsibility to carry forward with shared values of sustainability.
