In an interview with The Globe & Mail, Jackson Wijaya, owner of Domtar and CEO of Paper Excellence Group, has a clear message: Canada is the foundation of his global pulp and paper success. In a rare interview, Wijaya described the country as his “first pocket of gold,” recognizing Canada’s natural resources, political stability, and skilled workforce as the key reasons for choosing it as his launching pad.
“I’m very thankful to Canada and the people and the government for helping me make it possible,” said Wijaya. “I definitely will not do any harm to Canada. Rather, I will continue to contribute.”
Under his leadership, Domtar has expanded significantly, reinforcing his long-term commitment to invest in local operations and sustainable practices. For Wijaya, Canada represents not only a business opportunity, but a trusted partner in building the future of the global pulp and paper industry.
