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

MERC’s C$20 million (about US$14 million) Canadian government support for its Peace River mill is a notable funding boost, but its -26.65% profit margin underscores persistent losses.
