A Proud History
Glatfelter is one of the world's leading manufacturers of specialty papers and engineered products. Started by Philip H. Glatfelter in 1864 as a newsprint manufacturer, the company has evolved and grown dramatically through the years.
Today, Glatfelter is a diverse company occupying a unique niche in the
papermaking industry. Glatfelter is large enough to meet the needs of high

emphasis on customization.
