Associated Pulp and Paper Mills (APPM) was an Australian pulp and paper manufacturing company, established in 1936. Based in Burnie, Tasmania, the company played a significant role in the development of the pulp and paper industry in Australia, producing newsprint, fine paper, and packaging materials. At its peak, APPM was a major industrial employer in Tasmania, providing thousands of jobs and fostering regional economic growth. However, increased foreign competition, industrial disputes, and economic pressures led to its eventual closure in 2010.
