Crown Zellerbach

For the leading Supreme Court of Canada case on ocean pollution, see R v Crown Zellerbach Canada Ltd.
The Port Angeles Paper Mill (owned and operated by Crown Zellerbach in 1973)

Crown Zellerbach was an American pulp and paper conglomerate based in San Francisco, California, purchased in a hostile takeover in 1985.[1][2] Most of its pulp and paper assets were sold to James River Corporation, now part of Georgia-Pacific.

Its name lives on through the Crown Zellerbach Building in San Francisco (One Bush Plaza) and various philanthropic projects of the Zellerbach family. The company invented folded paper towels, molded pulp egg cartons, and the window envelope.
