AbitibiBowater was created in 2007 through the merger of Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater, combining major Canadian and U.S. pulp, paper and wood products operations. The company was headquartered in Montreal and became one of the largest forest products producers in North America at the time.
Its business included newsprint, commercial printing papers, market pulp, lumber and other wood products. The organization later restructured and adopted the Resolute Forest Products name, so historical funding, community support or supplier references may appear under either AbitibiBowater or Resolute depending on the period.
For grant and provider records, this profile should be treated as a legacy corporate forest products provider. Applicants should verify any active opportunity through the current successor organization or the specific program page attached to the grant, because AbitibiBowater is no longer used as the operating brand.
