'By combining UPM's material innovation with Mark Andy's printing technologies, we help converters make the right choices for their operations.'

'UPM brings strong materials expertise and an extensive portfolio to the table,' noted David Medlar, vice president of product line management at Mark Andy. 'Together, we help converters make confident decisions about materials and print processes that support both performance expectations and evolving print-buyer requirements.'
