Paper company, Sylvamo, has officially unveiled the new brand name for its uncoated printing and converting paper portfolio, as part of its plans to enhance the range
Paper company, Sylvamo, has officially unveiled a new name for its existing uncoated, wood-free printing and converting paper portfolio.
The portfolio, now called BERGA, is manufactured at Sylvamo’s mills in Saillat, France, and Nymolla, Sweden. BERGA products are available in both reel and sheet formats, designed to deliver strong, consistent printing and converting results while meeting high environmental standards.
According to a statement from the company, the BERGA brand was established to provide a platform for introducing enhancements to the existing product range and to foster alignment between the mills, resulting in a more cohesive and customer-friendly offering.
All phased changes resulting from the rebrand will conclude by the end of 2025 with Sylvamo focusing on retaining efficient, customer-focused actions and strong partnerships during the transition.
BERGA offers solutions designed for reliable performance across various print applications including high-speed inkjet, preprint, and offset. The portfolio has been developed to ensure strong colour reproduction through bespoke colour profiles verified under the International Color Consortium (ICC) specification.
BERGA was first launched at this year’s Hunkeler Innovationdays exhibition in Lucerne, Switzerland, under the tagline 'bringing you better' with Sylvamo reporting an overwhelmingly positive response from those attending the event.
Sylvamo, which dubs itself “the world’s paper company”, operates from a range of mills in Europe, Latin America, and North America. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, the company currently employs more than 6,500 people and has reported net sales reaching $3.8bn (£2.9bn) in 2024.
