About Neenah Inc

Neenah Inc. (NYSE: NP) was a U.S.-based specialty materials company listed on the NYSE in the United States before its July 2022 merger with Schweitzer-Mauduit International. For French-speaking investors, the key point is that Neenah’s operating legacy remains relevant even though the standalone listed company was folded into Mativ Holdings after the transaction. Historically, Neenah was headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, and operated with an international industrial footprint across North America and Europe, with additional communications also referencing Asia. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1296435/000129643522000026/np-20211231.htm?utm_source=openai)) Neenah was originally formed in 2004 in connection with Kimberly-Clark’s spin-off of its technical products and fine paper businesses. Over time, it evolved into a niche specialty materials platform with two core operating areas. First, its Technical Products business focused on filtration media for transportation, water, and other applications, along with durable saturated and coated substrates used in tapes, abrasives, labels, release liners, digital transfer papers, and other engineered materials. Second, its premium paper and packaging business supplied writing, text, and cover papers, as well as specialty papers used for commercial printing, corporate identity applications, invitations, stationery, and luxury packaging. This mix positioned Neenah at the intersection of industrial performance and premium branding, rather than in commoditized paper markets.

The company described itself as holding leading positions in several North American product categories, supported by strong brand recognition, product qualification barriers, and an industrial network spanning Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and the United States. That geographic spread helped support customer diversification and reduced reliance on any single end market. In analyst terms, Neenah was best viewed as a specialty player with defensible niches, rather than as a volume-driven commodity manufacturer.

Mativ later grouped legacy Neenah technical operations into its Advanced Technical Materials segment, while also reshaping the broader portfolio toward higher-value specialty materials. For investors tracking Form 4 insider activity historically tied to NP, this means Neenah should now be understood primarily as a legacy NYSE-listed specialty materials asset in the United States, with its operating history absorbed into a larger specialty materials platform.
