History

Two of the mills can trace their roots to the West Virginia Paper Company (Westvaco) that was established in 1888 by William Luke on 50 acres (202,000 m²) of land along the Potomac River in an area known as "West Piedmont" (now Luke, Maryland). The mill in Luke remains a major economic factor in the area and its impact straddles the river into Beryl, West Virginia and Piedmont, WV.

In 2005, the Luke plant and the rest of MeadWestvaco's Printing and Writing Paper business were sold to investment firm Cerberus Capital Management for about $2.3 billion to form NewPage Corporation. NewPage originally constituted 5 pulp and paper manufacturing in Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, and Ohio. In April 2006, NewPage sold their carbonless operations located in Ohio for $84 million to global specialty papermaker P. H. Glatfelter Company, based in York, Pennsylvania. In 2007, NewPage Corporation purchased the North American assets of Stora Enso which included mills in Wisconsin and Nova Scotia.
