The Right Minerals Leader Matters

We don’t have all the answers; but we have solved a lot of problems. In an industry that’s being turned upside down by major shifts in markets and technology, it helps to have a paper and mineral science leader with the right blend of technical power, global experience, commercial insight, and innovation.

Specialty Minerals Inc. (SMI) adds value to paper and board making around the world. With more than 60 SMI research, production, and customer-service facilities globally, we’ve learned a few things about optimizing optics and speeding up presses. From groundwood papers and high-volume offset, to paperboard grades and flexo, to premium coated paper for gravure, we’ve acquired a broad and accessible archive of knowledge. This knowledge allows SMI to meet specialized customer objectives including improving ink mileage, optimizing fountain solutions, eliminating linting, reducing piling, adjusting ink leveling, and maximizing ink receptivity.

These are just some of the reasons why your choice of a minerals supplier matters so much.
