4. Since 1968 we have been the
premier provider of just-in-time
stock and delivery, surplus
inventory relief, and winding
and sheeting services for
printers and mills.
Founded as a broker of prime
paper goods, Norkol has since
grown into one of the largest
independently owned converters
and distributors of commercial
paper in the country. In that time we have partnered with and
provided innovative solutions for mills, merchants, end users,
and printers throughout the paper industry.
With over four decades of experience
and state-of-the-art equipment, our team
continually strives to provide creative and
adaptive solutions that meet the needs of
an ever-evolving market.
For paper supply,
and management
or converting needs,
we’ve got you covered.
