Sep 28, 2012. /Lesprom Network/. In its continuing commitment to new products and new innovations, The Newark Group has developed FlexTan, a superior bending chip board delivering unparalleled smoothness and scoring capabilities. FlexTan™ is available immediately, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. In announcing the new product, Frank Papa, President and CEO of The Newark Group reflected upon the commodity perception of bending chip board and about how FlexTan is anything but a commodity product. "The physical characteristics of FlexTan are far superior to those of standard bending chip so now customers can get the benefit of a green product from a product that approaches virgin material." He added, "The smoothness and printability of this product is really a breakthrough in this industry, and will open the doors to new opportunities." The Newark Group is a leader in the collection of secondary fibers and the manufacturing and converting of 100% recycled paperboard.
