BPM Paper, a leader in the manufacturing of MG papers and specialty papers, manufactures an extensive range of machine glazed papers for the flexible packaging industry. With continuous improvements of machine modifications, BPM’s MG grades deliver consistent converting and print capabilities for specialty paper applications.

“BPM is a respected and innovative specialty paper mill in the MG paper industry,” stated Mitchell Mekaelian, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for BPM Inc. “We are looking to grow our MG market in light of the recent major shut down of a European MG machine. As an experienced supplier, we know this market. BPM is recognized for its quality MG papers and with continuous improvement and commitment, we are able to drive market innovation and offerings.”

Located in northern Wisconsin, the mill’s Yankee paper machine has received several upgrades and updates over recent years. From new software package to improvements in the head box and steam box, the upgrades have assisted in reduced variability of basis weights and moisture profiles. The paper machine has a 123” trim width with the majority of the company’s paper production is in the range of 20 to 30 lb. papers, with capabilities that range from 14 to 45 lb.

BPM manufacturers a robust line of MG papers that can be engineered to meet the needs of a wide array of applications. Product offerings include PH Neutral Papers, food release, wet strength, coating and laminating bases, baking papers, confectionery, meat and cheese interleave, and wrapping papers. The company is known for its specialty paper manufacturing flexibility, excellent service and willingness to develop custom-made solutions.

The company’s MG products have an excellent surface finish resulting in better print capability and run-ability.
