We have three business segments: Papers, Paper Merchants and Wood. We had revenues of $5.9 billion in 2007, of which approximately 82% was from the Papers segment, approximately 14% was from the Paper Merchants segment and approximately 4% 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. In uncoated freesheet, we have 12 pulp and paper mills in operation (nine in the United States and three in Canada) with an annual paper production capacity of approximately 4.6 million tons of uncoated freesheet paper. 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 17 converting and distribution operations including a network of 11 plants located offsite of our paper making operations. Also, we have forms manufacturing operations at two of the offsite converting and distribution operations and three stand-alone forms manufacturing operations.
We also 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 1.5 million metric tonnes of pulp per year depending on market conditions. Approximately 45% of our trade pulp production capacity is domestic and the remaining 55% is located in Canada. Our net pulp position, the amount of pulp produced and sold net of purchases from third parties, was approximately 1.1 million metric tonnes of pulp in 2007. We produce market pulp at our two non-integrated pulp mills in Kamloops and Woodland, as well as at our pulp and paper mills in Dryden, Espanola, Ashdown, Hawesville, and Windsor. Also, we produce fluff pulp at our Plymouth mill. We also have pulping operations in Prince Albert and Lebel-sur-Quévillon that are not in operation.
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 operates throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest areas from 20 locations in the United States, including 16 distribution centers serving customers in over 18 states. 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 five sawmills with a production capacity of approximately 660 million board feet of lumber and one remanufacturing facility. In addition, we own six sawmills that are currently not in operation but have an aggregate production capacity of approximately 796 million board feet of lumber. We also have investments in five companies, one of which is not in operation. We seek to optimize the 28 million acres of forestland we directly license or own in the United States and Canada 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.
