The company now has 14 agreements with paper mills that have adopted the Fulfill® E-325 technology introduced in late 2010, which verifies the technology's commercial progress. The FulFill® brand offers papermakers a variety of efficient, flexible solutions that allows paper companies to increase loading levels of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) to replace higher cost pulp, and increase PCC usage.
"We are very pleased that this paper company, to which we have been supplying PCC, will adopt our new FulFill® technology. FulFill® will provide the papermaker a competitive advantage and allow them to continue producing quality paper but at a lower cost," said Robert S. Wetherbee, president and CEO of Minerals Technologies. "We now have commercial agreements with papermakers in Asia, Europe, South Africa and North and South America, which validates the revitalization of our new product development pipeline and our commitment to advance our technology leadership throughout our global satellite network."
