Trading as Norske Skog Boyer, the Boyer Mill is a pulp and paper mill located in Boyer, Tasmania, Australia. Constructed in 1941 by Australian Newsprint Mills, the mill was the first producer of newsprint paper in Australasia.[2] Producing 260,000 tonnes (260,000 long tons; 290,000 short tons) of product in 2020, the mill is currently Australia's only manufacturer of newsprint and magazine-grade paper. The mill's operations make a substantial contribution to Tasmania's gross state product, estimated at $390 million.[3] Boyer Mill has been owned and operated by the Norwegian pulp and paper company Norske Skog since 2000.[1][4]
