Business Milestones

In 2004 Marc invested in Dirigo Paper Company in Gilman, VT as a partner in the business.  The Fiber Resource Group played a pivotal financial and management role in assisting with the mill start up after it was shut down for two (2) years.  As a strategic partner,  The Fiber Resource Group developed all of the mill’s virgin and secondary fiber procedures and purchasing efforts.  They set up an efficient inventory management and computer system for monitoring daily consumption, receiving, inventory as well as projecting short and long term raw material needs.  In addition, The Fiber Resource Group financed all fiber inventories and assisted with sales of job lot, off quality and finished paper for the mill.  Marc sold his interest in the mill in 2007.

During the summer of 2005 TFRG opened a warehousing facility in Madawaska, ME to offer additional services and increase its base of operations in northern Maine and eastern Canada. The intent of  TFRG was to establish a long-term viable operation while creating jobs in Aroostook County, ME.  One year later, The Fiber Resource Group of Maine, Inc. (TFRG of ME) was established as a separate entity.

In order to further its commitment to the local community,  TFRG of ME moved to its current location  in Van Buren, ME and is a full service converting and warehousing facility.  This modern warehousing facility is rail served and strategically located on the US/Canadian border. TFRG of ME offers recycling, converting, roll cutting, warehousing, transloading and related services to paper mills and other customers in northern Maine, eastern Canada and elsewhere.
