Transportation Company - Hammermill Paper - Lumber & Forestry



Company History: The Hammermill Paper Company, founded in 1898 was originally known as the Ernst R Behrend Company. That same year, construction began on their first paper mill in Erie, Pennsylvania. The company was founded by three brothers (Ernst, Otto and Bernard Behrend) and their father Moritz Behrend in Erie, Pennsylvania. Ernst served as President and Otto, secretary.

Behrend changed the name of the company before the first mill even opened in honor of his father's papermills in Germany. The company expanded by buying a mill in Oswego, New York that was making copier paper exclusively for Xerox. In the 1960s, mills were acquired in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and near Selma, Alabama. In 1962, they bought the Strathmore Paper Company. After a failed takeover by Paul Bilzerian and brothers William and Earle I. Mack (sons of New Jersey real estate developer H. Bert Mack), Hammermill was purchased in 1986, by the International Paper Company, with customer services and operations moving to their Memphis headquarters in 1988.
