What Paterson Pacific Parchment Co. does

Paterson Pacific Parchment Co. is a private, US-headquartered specialty paper manufacturer founded in 1923 (firmographics) and operating under the Hoffmaster brand across foodservice and consumer markets. The company produces premium single-use tableware and baking products including napkins, food wraps, pan liners, paper straws, bakery supplies, tablecovers, cutlery, placemats, and trraymats, organized into 30+ product categories. Its operational footprint spans six North American locations with 1,500+ employees (per company-disclosed content), though firmographic data reports a 251-500 range, and its headquarters is listed at 2920 N. Main St., Oshkosh, WI 54901, with the firmographic record placing the entity in Sparks, US. Underlying capabilities include paper converting and printing technology, an in-house Innovation Lab for material testing and validation, cross-functional design and engineering, and a 100% custom printing service available on nearly the entire product portfolio.

The business operates two primary divisions: a Foodservice Division selling directly to restaurants, caterers, and hospitality operators (with custom branding and design services), and a Consumer Division distributing trend-forward tableware, napkins, and party decor through retail and catalog channels. Go-to-market is sales-led across both B2B foodservice and B2C consumer motions, with the company website as the primary digital presence and a separate career portal signaling active hiring. Revenue mechanics are based on one-time sales of physical goods across the two divisions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company positions its differentiation on 75+ years of brand reputation, in-house design and engineering talent, an Innovation Lab, and the breadth of its custom solutions capability.
