UPM to attend Ipex as part of PrintCity Alliance stand

UPM has said its presence at Ipex as part of the PrintCity Alliance stand will highlight the theme of print being lean, green and seen.

The paper giant will showcase its range of digital, pre-print and sheet-fed offset printing papers. Its products will also be running on Océ's and HP's digital and Komori's sheet-fed offset printing machines.

UPM's product lifecycle approach, which it said takes into consideration the environmental impact of a product through its lifecycle, will also be showcased.

The company said: "The green theme is well presented ...UPM's papers are made of sustainable raw material, with low emissions, small carbon footprint and recycled fibre. Most of UPM's papers have the EU Eco-label."

For the lean theme, UPM said its operations offer customers "improved profitability through better performing products and lower overall waste".

Earlier this month, UPM said it will make 200 redundancies at its Kymi and Kaukas mills after negotiations at the Finnish mills were concluded. The negotiations hope to improve the mills' competitiveness through new ways of operating.
