Bowater

Bowater was an American pulp and paper company based in Greenville, South Carolina. Bowater had 12 pulp and paper mills in the United States, Canada and South Korea and 13 North American sawmills. It had approximately 10,000 employees. Bowater acquired its Canadian interests in the late 1990s when they bought Avenor (formerly Canadian Pacific Forest Products).

The company was formed by demerger from Bowater-Scott, a joint venture between the British paper milling company created by William Vansittart Bowater and the Scott Paper Company.
