Taking the cellulose fibers locked inside materials headed for landfills, and allowing them to be repurposed in new products — that's the essence of our business at Central Fiber.
We are a leading producer of specialty cellulose fiber products for use in industrial applications, providing thickening, rheology and flow control, high fluid absorption capacity, drain-down resistance, green strength, reinforcing properties, and acting as lightweight functional fillers. Founded in 1986, sustainability was a primary focus at Central Fiber® long before it became the standard it is today.
