The media world is in the midst of a major transition. Structural changes have transformed earning models for publishers, which continues to pose a challenge for the whole industry.

“We have taken action at UPM to improve our competitiveness but without compromising our supply and service capabilities. I’m pleased to see that leading European publishers count on our delivery reliability and benefiting from our geographical coverage and extensive product range,” says Winfried Schaur, Senior Vice President, Newspaper Publishing, UPM Paper ENA.

UPM has continuously developed its product offering and services to better meet the needs of its customers. Its extensive paper range for coldset web offset printing enables higher quality printed products with exceptional haptic properties.

“Print should be seen as a complementary medium within the increasingly diverse world of publishing. We are working close to our customers to further develop both our products and services. It is in our mutual interest to keep print competitive,” says Ken Ehrnrooth, Head of Sales at UPM.
