After World War II, Hudson River Mill workers developed the production of coated paper for the company.

Therefore, International Paper Company frequently used asbestos insulation in its walls, floors, and roofs as a protective measure.

[21] International Paper completed the acquisition of British packaging company DS Smith for $7.2 billion in January 2025.

The company sold its wood products division to West Fraser Timber, based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

This included 13 sawmills, making West Fraser the second-largest producer of lumber in North America, after Weyerhaeuser Company.

However, inclusion of seismic criteria to the Memphis building code in 1994 made the initial design unable to move forward.

Its wood products division was sold in 2007 to West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd., a company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Beginning February 1, 2007, the sale of the beverage-packaging division was completed as New Zealand billionaire Graeme Hart won the bid with purchase price of nearly $800 million.
