Our History

In 1988 out of a coincidental meeting…. a strong and powerful group was formed combining Jacob Geron’s 20 years of worldwide, international trading experience and Daniel and Tavia Gordon’s 50 years of experience in the paper industry. From the days when Eagle Paper International exported stock lots to a few overseas customers we have expanded and developed a worldwide network of customers, mill connections and trading partners.

In 2009, after 20 years of a great and fruitful partnership, Tavia and Daniel, at the age of 75, retired from Eagle Paper. Continental Paper Grading, one of the largest privately held paper companies in the USA of recovery papers, headed by Bill Harrow, bought the shares of Tavia and Daniel Gordon. Eagle Paper International and CPG have been business partners for many years, the purchase of the 50% shares of Eagle Paper have made them an integral part of Eagle Paper International. Since 2009 the cooperation and integrity between Eagle Paper and CPG have resulted tremendous fruitful new business and added to the continuous growth of Eagle Paper.
