In 1931, Rainier Pulp and Paper began working with Du Pont to produce hemlock pulp for the manufacture of rayon.

Rainier Pulp and Paper changed its name to Rayonier, a merger of "rayon" and "Rainier", in 1937, when it became a publicly traded company. ITT purchased the company in 1968 and changed its name to ITT Rayonier. It was spun off from ITT in 1994.
