Berg Mill’s rich history reaches back almost a century, to the Berg family’s collection of companies, including paper, metal, and textile recycling. Forty years later, launching a business dedicated to minimizing and repurposing waste was a natural move for founder, Roger Berg.

Roger Berg founded Berg Mill Supply Company on November 16, 1962, as one of the first brokering companies operating without its own recycling yard. The company was formally incorporated just over five years later, in January 1968.

In addition to supplying materials to domestic mills, Roger was an early pioneer reaching across the Pacific to supply international manufacturers in emerging markets – China, Vietnam, and other Pacific Rim countries. Growing opportunities in international markets led the company to enter into a partnership in the summer of 1970, to form Classic Fibres, Inc., Berg Mill Supply’s export division. One year later, Classic Fibres became the first exporter to ship wastepaper in sea containers instead of break bulk.
