Metamark will form a key part of the new UPM Raflatac Graphics business, and will continue to serve customers with its products under the Metamark brand. UPM Raflatac is one of UPM’s six business areas. The Finnish based company is a global leader in renewable alternatives for fossil-based materials, such as decarbonisation solutions, advanced materials, renewable fibres, and graphic papers.
‘This is exciting and positive news for Metamark and its employees, our customers, and for the industries we supply, and our commitment to sustainability,’ said Phil Wild, Metamark’s CEO.
Metamark is now at the heart of a growing graphics business unit within UPM Raflatac, which will result in the Metamark brand achieving greater global exposure. Metamark’s influence and its technical abilities will find a wider audience, and the pace of its development will accelerate as the UPM Graphics business area, and its brand consequently grow.
While Metakark’s role at the centre of the UPM Graphics business advances Metamark to a new stage on its continuing journey, little changes in practical terms from its customer’s viewpoint. Its valued customers and partners will continue to benefit from Metamark’s long established services levels, and enjoy the same terms. Its customers will speak to the same familiar contacts. The Metamark website will continue to serve its customers.
Metamark’s factory and headquarters in Lancaster in the UK will continue to manufacture Metamark products as it always has. Metamark joining the UPM Raflatac family represents good news for the industry and for all its customers. The company’s combined resources will be growth-focused, creating a bigger and more energised market that creates new opportunities.
