What EAGLE PAPER INTERNATIONAL, INC. does

Eagle Paper International, Inc. is a privately held, Virginia Beach-headquartered paper trading company founded in 1990 that sources paper and pulp-based raw materials from a global network of mills and sells them to converters and manufacturers across North America, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Gulf region, and Asia. Its commercial portfolio spans corrugating papers (linerboard and medium/fluting), packaging boards (Duplex, SBS, Triplex), kraft paper in MG and MF grades, tissue and towel raw materials, and a stock lots service backed by five global warehouses focused on the tissue industry. The company does not operate proprietary production technology; its core capabilities are mill-to-customer matchmaking, cross-border logistics, and embedded trade finance.

The business operates two main divisions — a Paper Division headed by founder Jacob Geron and a Finished Product Division led by second-generation leaders Raz and Lior Geron following the March 2025 return to full Geron family ownership. Eagle Paper handles hundreds of thousands of tons of paper annually through a six-person headquarters team supported by overseas offices, generating revenue via transactional, quote-based B2B sales tailored to customer volume and credit needs. Service offerings layered on top of product sales include container logistics, customs and documentation, warehousing, inspection, claims handling, marine insurance coordination, and FSC-C130128-certified sustainable sourcing — collectively positioning the firm as a full-service intermediary rather than a commodity reseller. The company sources from a large roster of named mills including Mondi, Graphic Packaging, Ilim, Hadera, Kipas, Rock-Tenn, Asia Paper, Bohi, and Catalana, and reaches customers primarily through direct enterprise sales rather than digital channels.
