SWM International, a privately owned company, officially began as a spin-off from the Kimberly-Clark Corporation in 1995. However, our roots go back to 1545 with the opening of our first paper mill in the south of France. In the decades that followed, we expanded our global paper operations, opening key locations across Europe, North and South America, and in China. Our teams of experts, located on four continents, continue to adapt and innovate to meet the needs of our customers and the constantly evolving markets they supply.
