Saillat mill

Sylvamo’s Saillat mill is located in the heart of the Limousin region in France, in a village of less than 1000 people, along the Vienne river.
Founded in 1894, Saillat produces office papers and value added grades available for cut size, reels or folio formats. The mill also sells market pulp in France and other European countries.
 
Significant investments have been implemented over the years to enhance the mill’s environmental footprint and the quality of Saillat’s products, making it a European leader in the production of value-added papers.

Saillat is a major economic player, locally creating more than 4500 direct and indirect jobs, involved both in the community and circular economy through partnerships with local farmers for its ashes spreading. Saillat is also strongly committed to responsible environmental management:  this results into 85% autonomy in biomass energy, and one of the lowest carbon foodprint of the market. 

Saillat holds ISO 9001,14001, 45001, FSC, PEFC, Ecolabel and OFG certifications.
