Seshasayee Paper and Boards Limited

Seshasayee Paper and Boards Limited – “Sri S Viswanathan was the Founder of the Company. He was responsible for the growth of the Company and bringing it to its present stature.” He laid great emphasis on the use of Bagasse as raw material for the Paper Industry to preserve forest cover and protect the environment. His persistent thrust in this area has led to more than 50% of paper production in the country now being made out of unconventional raw materials, such as Bagasse. He promoted Ponni Sugars which became the first sugar mill in the country, to use alternative fuel in its Boilers and release the Bagasse in entirety for Paper Making. He innovatively structured Irrigation projects with multiple objectives of using treated paper mill effluent for converting dry lands into wetlands, thus transforming the livelihood of local farming community and simultaneously meeting the raw material needs of both Sugar and Paper Industry.

He was a strong believer in teamwork and professionalism. He was firm of the view that the role of the Industry is not just to create wealth in a few hands, but must be extended to serve rural development, poverty alleviation, employee welfare and social upliftment.
