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. Our products are available locally, worldwide. Metamark’s influence and its technical abilities will find a wider audience, and the pace of our development will accelerate as the UPM Graphics business area, and our brand consequently grow. 

While our 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 our customer’s viewpoint. Our valued customers and partners will continue to benefit from Metamark’s long established services levels, enjoy the same terms. Our customers will speak to the same familiar contacts. The Metamarkweb site will continue to serve our customers.

Our factory and headquarters in Lancaster in the UK will continue to manufacture Metamark products as it always has. Our conversion and fulfilment processes that configure and ship the materials we make, and that our customers and partners buy, will continue to do its job. 

Metamark joining the UPM Raflatac family represents good news for the industry and for all our customers. Our combined resources will be growth-focused, creating a bigger and more energised market that creates new opportunities.

We acknowledge the continuing support from our customers and our partners that has helped Metamark achieve its new position, and we look forward to delivering its full potential.
