We have three business segments: Papers, Paper Merchants and Wood. We had revenues of $5.5 billion in 2009, of which approximately 81% was from the Papers segment, approximately 16% was from the Paper Merchants segment and approximately 3% was from the Wood segment.
Papers
We are the largest integrated manufacturer and marketer of uncoated freesheet paper in North America and the second largest in the world based on production capacity. We have 10 pulp and paper mills in operation (eight in the United States and two in Canada) with an annual paper production capacity of approximately 3.9 million tons of uncoated freesheet paper, after giving effect to the conversion of our Plymouth facility to 100% fluff pulp production in 2010. In addition, we have an annual production capacity of 238,000 tons of coated groundwood at our Columbus paper mill. Approximately 81% of our paper production capacity is domestic and the remaining 19% is located in Canada. Our paper manufacturing operations are supported by 15 converting and distribution operations, including a network of 12 plants located offsite of our paper making operations. Also, we have forms manufacturing operations at three of the offsite converting and distribution operations and two stand-alone forms manufacturing operations.
In addition, we manufacture and sell pulp in excess of our internal requirements, and we purchase papergrade pulp from third parties allowing us to optimize the logistics of our pulp capacity while reducing transportation costs. We have the capacity to sell approximately 1.9 million metric tonnes of pulp per year depending on market conditions, after giving effect to the conversion of our Plymouth facility to 100% fluff pulp production in 2010. Approximately 51% of our trade pulp production capacity is domestic, and the remaining 49% is located in Canada. We produce market pulp at our three non-integrated pulp mills in Kamloops, Woodland and Dryden, as well as at our pulp and paper mills in Espanola, Ashdown, Hawesville, and Windsor. We also produce pulp at our Plymouth mill.
Paper Merchants
Our Paper Merchants business involves the purchasing, warehousing, sale and distribution of our products and those of other manufacturers. Products include business, printing and publishing papers and certain industrial products. These products are sold to a wide and diverse customer base, which includes small, medium and large commercial printers, publishers, quick copy firms, catalog and retail companies and institutional entities.
Our Paper Merchants operate in the United States and Canada under a single banner and umbrella name, the Domtar Distribution Group. Ris Paper, part of the Domtar Distribution Group, operates throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest areas from 20 locations in the United States, including 16 distribution centers serving customers across North America. The Canadian business operates as Buntin Reid in three locations in Ontario; JBR/La Maison du Papier in two locations in Quebec; and The Paper House from two locations in Atlantic Canada.
Wood
Our Wood business comprises the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of lumber and wood-based value-added products, and the management of forest resources. We operate seven sawmills with a production capacity of approximately 890 million board feet of lumber and one remanufacturing facility. We also have investments in two companies. We seek to optimize the 31 million acres of forestland we directly license or own in Canada and the United States through efficient management and the application of certified sustainable forest management practices to help ensure that a continuous supply of wood is available for future needs.
