MATV

Mativ Holdings, Inc.

A maker of engineered specialty materials used in everyday essentials, Mativ produces filtration media that cleans air and water, plus tapes, labels, packaging, and healthcare products sold in over a hundred countries. It was born in 2022 when two storied manufacturers — Schweitzer-Mauduit (spun off from Kimberly-Clark in 1995) and Neenah — merged, and the name "Mativ" was coined to nod to material science. Among its innovations is Gessner filter media that swaps fossil-based resins for lignin, a natural polymer from wood.
