M-real, the world's leading producer of wallpaper base, will be announcing new
developments in its non-woven wallpaper range at Heimtextil 2009, building on
the success of its most recently launched non woven grade, Cresta NG2. 

“We have several development projects in progress to expand our product range,
with emphasis on new non-woven grades,” says Ilkka Mutka, VP Speciality Papers
Business, M-real Consumer Packaging.  “The latest addition to our wallpaper
base range, Cresta NG2, is already creating a stir in the market as it is ideal
for the sort of creative designs appealing to today's consumers and interior
designers.” 

The company is showing its extensive product range including duplex and simplex
wallpaper base as well as non-woven products for special applications.  M-real
provides a wide range of wallpaper base products for imaginative and practical
designs of all types of wallcoverings. 

As environmental issues are of increasing concern to customers, M-real will
also show how it can provide carbon footprint calculations for all its
products.  M-real's calculations cover the manufacturing processes of pulp,
board and paper, including purchased electricity, as well as  the
transportation of wood raw material, pulp and products. 

M-real's commitment to sustainability continues with the implemention of the
Climate Programme launched in 2008, targeting investment towards projects that
produce immediate positive environmental impacts.  As part of the programme,
all M-real production units will have an energy efficiency system in place by
the end of 2009. All its mills hold chain of custody certification from forest
to product, and support the use of certified wood. 

M-real Kyro mill's PM3 (paper machine 3) is dedicated completely to wallpaper
base production, having a total capacity of 105,000 tonnes per year. 
Investment by M-real in modern technology has resulted in continuous quality
developments. 

The wallpaper base production units are a part of M-real Consumer Packaging
Business Area, a focus business area of M-real.  With decades of experience,
M-real serves customers worldwide.
