Pars Paper Company (Persian: شركت سهامي كاغذسازي پارس‎ – Sherkat-e Sehāmī Kāgheẕ Sāzī-ye Pārs) is a village and company town in Hoseynabad Rural District, in the Central District of Shush County, Khuzestan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 5,909, in 1,219 families.[1]

Pars Paper Company was established in 1967 and started production in 1970 to use the bagasse from the Haft-Tapeh sugar mill located next to it. For years, this mill was the only producer of writing and printing paper in Iran, however because of damages during Iran-Iraq war and no overhaul, it was about to shut down forever. In the fiscal year 2012 the production was 20% of the nominal capacity. October 2013 was a turning point for Pars Paper Company in which Mr. Mohammad Javad Moghaddam bought the company and started overhaul of machines and employing knowledgeable and experienced human resources so that the production hit the best record ever while the quality increased. Today, Pars paper is the only chemical pulp producer in the Middle East and the only producer of sanitary paper. It has also exported the products to more than 15 countries[2].
