Neenah Paper has completed the purchase of Crane Technical Materials from Crane & Co. The company, to be renamed Neenah Technical Materials, provides performance-oriented wetlaid nonwovens media for fast growing filtration end markets as well as for environmental, energy and industrial uses. Annual sales of approximately $50 million are supported through two manufacturing operations located in Pittsfield, MA.

“We are excited to move forward now as a company with an expanded manufacturing platform serving a broader base of filtration and other performance-oriented technical markets and customers,” says John O’Donnell, CEO. “This acquisition clearly fit our strategy of expanding in profitable specialty niche markets with above average growth rates and attractive financial returns.
