Case Study: International Paper achieves safer operations and less downtime with StormGeo weather forecasts

Helping International Paper Maintain Safe Operations with Site-Specific Weather Forecasts

International Paper, a leading producer of fiber-based packaging and pulp, faced a major challenge at its Wilmington, North Carolina facility: hurricanes and tropical storms regularly threatened employee safety, assets, and production continuity. To make the right shutdown and preparedness decisions, the company needed accurate, site-specific weather intelligence rather than general media reports or utility updates, so it turned to StormGeo for 24/7 meteorological support and forecasts.

StormGeo provided International Paper with site-specific forecasts, tropical storm and hurricane monitoring, impact analysis, and direct access to meteorologists around the clock. With StormGeo’s guidance during Hurricane Florence, International Paper shut down the plant safely, evacuated employees, and protected critical resources; after the storm, the company was able to resume recovery quickly and bring the facility back up within a few days.
