NewPage was a leading producer of printing and specialty papers in North America with $3.1 billion in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012. NewPage was headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, and owned paper mills in Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. These mills have a total annual production capacity of approximately 3.5 million tons of paper.
NewPage had facilities in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Kentucky, Maryland and Maine. Its closed and former facilities are Niagara Mill, located in Niagara, Wisconsin (closed in 2008), Kimberly Mill, located in Kimberly, Wisconsin (closed in 2009), Chillicothe Mill, located in Chillicothe, Ohio (sold in 2006 to Glatfelter; still operational, Port Hawkesbury Mill, located in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia (closed in 2011; re-opened in 2012 by Stern Partners as Port Hawkesbury Paper) and Whiting Mill, located in Whiting, Wisconsin (closed in 2011). In early 2015, the company was acquired by the Verso Corporation for $1.4 billion.
Two of the mills can trace their roots to the West Virginia Paper Company (aka the West Virginia Pulp & Paper Company and later, Westvaco) that was established in 1888 by William Luke on 50 acres (202,000 m²) of land along the Potomac River in an area known as "West Piedmont" (now Luke, Maryland). The mill in Luke remains a major economic factor in the area and its impact straddles the river into Beryl and Piedmont in West Virginia.
