Glatfelter & Ekman Initiate Partnership To Sell Abaca Pulp Globally
08 Setembro 2023 - 8:59AM
Glatfelter Corporation (“Glatfelter” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GLT),
a leading global supplier of engineered materials, has entered into
an agreement with Ekman & Co. to market Glatfelter’s high
quality, specialty Abaca pulp exclusively through Ekman’s global
sales agency platform.
Glatfelter has increased its market capacity of Abaca pulp and
is partnering with Ekman’s global sales organization to reach new
and innovative markets for this fiber.
Abaca is a unique, durable, strong fiber with a variety of
applications, including filtration (tea, coffee), currency paper,
textile, rope & twine, and several other applications where
strength, porosity, and natural fibers are required.
“We are excited about this new relationship with Ekman,” said
Thomas Fahnemann, President & CEO of Glatfelter. “As we
continue to grow our position as a producer of Abaca for the
market, we have a natural fit with Ekman, whose logistical platform
and expertise in specialty pulp will help us both win in this
growing market.”
“Glatfelter is going to be a great global partner,” said Lewis
Fix, VP of Pulp at Ekman. “They have high quality production,
technical expertise, and a passion for creating fibers sustainably
that people use every day. Aligning that supply with Ekman’s market
access will create value for us and, most importantly, our
customers.”
