Tembec, a paper company in Canada, was created in 1973 in the town of Temiscaming, in Quebec near the border of Ontario. The town’s economic lifeblood, a pulp mill owned by a large multinational corporation, was shut down in 1972. The mill’s former employees and Temiscaming residents gained national attention in their fight to save their jobs, and their efforts created a unique and unprecedented relationship among entrepreneurs, unionized employees, the community and several levels of government. The mill was purchased and Tembec came into being.
Today Tembec has approximately 10,000 employees located in Canada, United States, France and Chile
Tembec has expressed interest in buying the defunct paper mill in Nackawic, New Brunswick.
