History[]

Veritiv was established on July 1, 2014 upon the merger of International Paper Company's xpedx division with the parent company of Unisource Worldwide, at which time International Paper Company completed corporate spin-off of the company.[1][4]

In August 2014, the company leased its headquarters, in Sandy Springs, Georgia, from Cousins Properties.[5][6]

In September 2017, the company acquired All American Containers, its first acquisition.[3][7]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company underwent a restructuring plan and cut its workforce by 15%.[8]

In September 2020, CEO Mary Laschinger retired and was replaced by Salvatore A. Abbate.[9]
