J.R. Paper Company was established in 1985 by Robert & Stuart Rotenberg. The converting operation is located In Detroit, Michigan near the river front.

The converting business was a natural offshoot to the family paper recycling business, which is currently operated by Robert, Stuart and their father Milton. Robert & Stuart are the third generation to operate General Mill Supply Co.

Many of the paper mills which supply J. R. Paper are also buyers of waste paper from General Mill Supply. We have "closed the loop" by buying product from the mill we sell waste paper to, and also by buying waste paper from many of the customers which we sell our converted paper products to.

Equipment being used in the plant include a 77" Moore-White sheeter, a 72" MassonScott sheeter, two 50" and one 74" Seybold flat-cutters. Both sheeters have de-curl stations.

The primary products of the company are used for Industrial applications such as packaging, padding, separating, and otherwise protecting the products of our customers. We stock a full range of chipboard grades (plain, clay coated, and poly coated) construction paper, and SBS are used for this purpose. We also sell Corrugated sheet stock. We convert rolls to sheets, and then cut the sheet stock to our customers specifications.

We also stock economy grades of printing paper. We use the term "economy" to stress the fact that we only buy this paper as "odd-lot", and therefor, we do not represent ourselves as being a full service paper merchant for the printing industry. What we do have available at any given time, however, can be purchased at a substantial discount to prime market prices.

In addition to the converting done for our own accounts, we also do contract sheeting and trimming for paper mills, and other customers who have the need to out source this type of work.

Finally, we act as a broker of paperboard roll stock, and sheet stock for those customers who have their own equipment, but want the services of a supplier that can provide a full range of paper, and paperboard products.

Quality and service are the two most important Ingredients to our products. We take great pride in providing material that meets our customer's specifications. The paper must look and perform the way our clients want it to, and we get it to them quickly. We do our best to "drop everything" and help a customer get out of a difficult situation when they need something right away.
