Neenah Paper, Alpharetta, Ga., USA, has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Gruppo Cordenons, the Italian maker of high quality fine papers, to market and distribute all of Cordenons papers in the U.S. and Canada. The papers will continue to be manufactured by Gruppo Cordenons at its two paper mills in Italy—the Cordenons Mill, a state of the art facility, and at the Scurelle paper mill, both in Northern Italy. The papers will be available to Neenah distributors beginning September 3.
"Neenah has an unwavering commitment to providing designers with unique product options to set their work apart," said Julie Schertell, president of Fine Paper. "Cordenons papers are known for their exemplary quality, thick and heavy cover weights, and artisanal color palettes. Brands like Stardream, Plike, and Canaletto are specified by designers for projects that require a unique and premium image. This collection is a natural complement to our existing portfolio of fine papers."
"We are very pleased to announce this partnership," said Ferruccio Gilberti, owner and president, Gruppo Cordenons. "The affiliation with Neenah Paper will enable Gruppo Cordenons to more fully extend the reach and availability of our fine papers in this key region of the world. Neenah continues to find new and creative ways to grow in existing and new market segments. The alignment of our premium image and high quality brands make this partnership a perfect fit for both companies."
Schertell noted that this agreement follows several successful strategic partnerships by Neenah Paper to fuel its growth and share. "We are committed to our partners and understand, appreciate, and respect the longstanding tradition of craftsmanship and quality. These are brands that underline that paper can be both beautiful and functional, will continue to drive value in the marketplace, and will thrive as part of the Neenah Paper family," she said.
