Its pulp products are distributed internationally, reaching markets in Europe, the United States, Asia, and other regions.

The primary feedstocks for its NBSK pulp production include wood chips, pulp logs, and sawlogs. Its carbon-neutral or "green" energy is generated using sustainable bio-fuels such as black liquor and wood waste. Additionally, Mercer produces tall oil, which serves as both a chemical additive and a green energy source. Mercer's pulp is a key ingredient for manufacturers of tissue, specialty paper, printing and writing paper, and other paper products. Its lumber goods reach a diverse customer base, including distributors, construction firms, secondary manufacturers, retail yards, and home centers.
