ALPHARETTA, Ga. (News release) -- Mativ Holdings, Inc. announced that it has completed the sale of its Engineered Papers business to Evergreen Hill Enterprise, Pte. Ltd.
Julie Schertell, CEO of Mativ, commented, "We are very pleased with the completion of the sale of Engineered Papers. They have a great team and strategy in place for a successful future. For Mativ, this is an important part of unlocking our strategy to become a leading manufacturer of specialty materials. As we head into 2024, over 80% of our revenue will be from our Advanced Technical Materials segment, where we have strong positions in large, growing, profitable markets."
