The acquisition of FiberMark by Neenah Paper was announced last quarter, adding thousands of colours, textures, finishes and weights in premium papers, box wraps, folding boards and labels to Neenah’s repertoire. Newly expanded products and capabilities also include specialty coatings and finishing with a focus on custom work. “This is the perfect marriage of two very complementary companies,” said Julie Schertell, President, Fine Paper and Packaging at Neenah. “FiberMark is a leader in developing and providing premium specialty coatings and finishes – a perfect complement to Neenah’s strong paper and packaging manufacturing capabilities. With these new capabilities, the strength of our customer relationships, and our proven ability to execute, we are opening up unlimited possibilities to create unique and custom fabrications for our customers,” added Schertell.
Neenah’s expanded paper and packaging portfolios include:
- Touché Papers: A soft, matte finish offering softness similar to a rose petal (ideal for premium and luxury brands).
- SuedeTex Papers: A rich, soft texture that simulates leather.
- Neenah Folding Board & Box Wrap: Featuring 58 new stocked items, plus a huge array of finish, texture and colour combinations that can be manufactured to a customer’s specific needs.
- Custom capabilities: Enhanced specialty coating and finishing capabilities can provide new tactile finishes and other variations to expand branding possibilities.
