Neenah Paper Expands Fine and Technical Paper Product Lines

ALPHARETTA, Ga., July 19 /CNW/ -- Neenah Paper (NYSE: NP)
announced that it has expanded its fine and technical paper product lines to
include new UV/ULTRA(R) Web+Plus(TM) colored and transparent translucent
papers in its fine paper business and new KIMDURA(R) synthetic papers for
labels and tags.  The new translucent Web+Plus(TM) papers will be manufactured
for Neenah Paper by Sihl Paper, a well-known global manufacturer of specialty
papers based in Switzerland, and will provide Neenah Paper customers a broader
range of printing applications for these types of papers. The new lines of
MDURA(R) technical papers will expand Neenah Paper's portfolio of synthetic
papers and were the result of a joint development project utilizing technical
expertise of both Neenah Paper and a third party multinational.
"These new products are examples of how we expect to grow our business by
working with others. In these cases, we were able to add high quality products
that complement our existing portfolio and can benefit from our market
expertise, but which did not easily fit our manufacturing capabilities. We
will continue to pursue opportunities like these that support our growth plans
and can provide reasonable returns with a limited investment in assets," said
Sean Erwin, Chief Executive Officer of Neenah Paper.
