Temple-Inland is a low-cost, highly efficient manufacturing company focused on corrugated packaging and building products.

Today, we are the third largest producer of corrugated packaging in North America, producing 3.6 million tons of boxes annually, comprising approximately 12% of the market. Through our focus on asset utilization and manufacturing excellence, we now have the second highest ROI in our industry and the highest ROI improvement relative to our peer group over the last three years.

In building products, we produce a tailored portfolio of building products and industrial panels – lumber, gypsum, particleboard, MDF and fiberboard. Our facilities are low cost and located near large, high-growth markets. Over the past 10 years, we have generated ROI well in excess of our cost of capital.

Our simple and effective vision, mission, values and strategy will guide us as we grow our company and create significant value for our shareholders, our customers and our employees. We have an outstanding management team and our diverse workforce is comprised of some of the industry’s most talented and knowledgeable individuals. Together, we are working to make Temple-Inland the best.

Execution is a key to winning. At Temple-Inland, we will win and be the best through our excellence in execution. And while we will be passionate about winning, we will win the right way. We will not cut corners, morally, ethically or legally.

I am proud of what Temple-Inland has accomplished and excited about the opportunity before us.
