Verso Corporation

Verso Corporation (NYSE: VRS) was a North American producer of coated papers including coated groundwood, coated freesheet, and specialty products used in magazines, catalogs, commercial print, books, and packaging. Headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, Verso operated mills in Wisconsin Rapids (Wisconsin), Escanaba (Michigan), Duluth (Minnesota), and historically Luke (Maryland). In March 2022, Swedish pulp and paper group BillerudKorsnäs (now Billerud) completed its acquisition of Verso for $825 million in cash, taking the company private and rebranding it as Billerud Americas Corporation. The Verso standalone brand, ticker, and corporate web presence have been retired; ongoing North American operations, paper grades, and customer relationships now sit inside Billerud's global business.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Verso Corporation the way a machine reads it — 17 machine-readable artifacts across 3 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Verso Corporation scores 8.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
