Westervelt Snapshot
The Westervelt Company has turned over a new leaf -- several, actually -- since its inception in 1884. A paper and paperboard packaging manufacturer for many years, Westervelt now operates several distinct businesses related to land resource management. Besides owning and managing 500,000 acres of timberlands, the company operates sporting lodges around the world, offers wildlife gaming and recreational property management, develops masterplanned residential communities in Alabama, and is involved in creating renewable energy. The company is privately owned by the Westervelt and Warner families.
