Mac Papers, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, is an industrial distributor of paper and print solutions, packaging materials and equipment, facility supplies and office products.[2] The company is the largest supplier of printing paper and envelopes in the Southeast United States,[3] delivering 100,000 tons of paper each year.[4] The company also provides graphic supplies, wide format media and equipment, packaging solutions, and office supplies, as well as custom product and logistics solutions.[5]

History

Clifford Graham McGehee founded the Jacksonville Paper Company in 1919. Frank McGehee and Tom McGehee, his sons, both worked in the family business, with Tom serving as president by 1956. The Jacksonville Paper Company was sold by the family in 1965, and the two brothers immediately started a new enterprise to target the printing and graphics industries.[4] The brothers expanded the business throughout eight states in the southeast, establishing distribution centers and employing many family members. The company features products from the best paper manufacturers worldwide. Founder Tom McGehee died in 2002; brother Frank followed in 2006, but the company is still owned and operated by the McGehee family.[6] Frank's son David is currently president and Sutton is CEO; Tom's son Mac is executive vice president.[7] Five members of the third generation are currently working in the business.

When Mac Papers opened in 1965, its slogan was “paper is all we do.” While the company remains committed to its paper business, Mac Papers has diversified [8] its core business into four distinct segments: Paper & Print, Packaging, Facilities Supplies and Office Products.[9]

The company launched a website to celebrate its 50th year in business.[10]
