Manistique Papers and FutureMark Paper Folded into Umbrella Group
While FutureMark Paper Group’s Alsip and Manistique facilities will work closely in the marketplace to achieve synergies and bring new value to customers, each operation is financially and legally independent, owned by separate investment funds managed by The Watermill Group, a strategy-driven private investment firm.
New names, new products
FutureMark Paper Group’s 100-percent recycled uncoated papers, formerly sold under Manistique Papers’ product names, will now be sold under the brand Future Mystique. Book papers will be marketed under the Future Book UC brand. Printing papers for the converter market will be bundled under the Future Office product family, and recycled packaging and bag papers will be sold as Future Pack and Future Bag, respectively.
Product names for the group’s recycled coated publication papers, previously sold by FutureMark Paper, will remain unchanged: Future Book, Future Choice and Future Connection. Future ReMark, a C1S label paper, will now be renamed Future Label.
