Australian Made Office Paper

The Reflex brand of office papers is proudly Australian Made at our Maryvale Mill located in Victoria’s LaTrobe Valley.

The Maryvale Paper Mill is one of Australia’s largest integrated pulp and paper making operations and dates back to 1937 when it was first established. A cycle of continuous capital investment since that time has ensured that it remains a state of the art integrated paper making facility.  The latest of these investments has been the Pulp Mill Upgrade.

Australian Paper completed this major upgrade of the Maryvale Mill in December 2008 in response to global paper trends and changing consumer expectations of office paper products. With an investment of $350 million, the upgrade has expanded the Mill’s production of bleached pulp capacity by 22% and also delivered a range of quality, environmental, safety and health benefits.

The upgrade included the reconstruction of the wood yard to support the projected increase volumes of wood. The rebuilt bleach plant is now producing ECF (Elementally Chlorine Free) Pulp, and has delivered significant improvements in emission reductions as well as further savings in water usage and increased usage of renewable energy.
