Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. operates as a global supplier of specialty cellulose products, reaching markets across the United States, China, Canada, Japan, Europe, Latin America, and other Asian and international regions. Its operations are structured around its High Purity Cellulose, Paperboard, and High-Yield Pulp segments. Among its offerings are cellulose specialties, natural polymers that serve as critical raw materials for manufacturing a wide array of consumer products, such as components for liquid crystal displays, durable impact-resistant plastics, food thickeners, pharmaceutical ingredients, cosmetic additives, cigarette filters, high-strength rayon yarn for tires and industrial hoses, food casings, and various paints and lacquers. Commodity products also form a significant part of its offerings, including commodity viscose pulp. This pulp is integral to woven textiles like rayon for clothing and other fabrics, and non-woven applications such as baby, cosmetic, and industrial wipes, as well as mattress ticking. Another commodity is absorbent fluff fibers, essential for disposable baby diapers, feminine hygiene products, incontinence pads, convalescent bed pads, industrial towels, wipes, and other non-woven materials. The company further provides paperboards, widely used for packaging, printing documents, brochures, promotional materials, covers for paperback books or catalogs, file folders, tags, and tickets. Its high-yield pulps are critical for producing paperboard, packaging products, printing and writing papers, and various other paper-based items. Established in 1926, the company maintains its headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida.
