What Mativ does

Mativ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MATV) is a global specialty materials company formed in July 2022 through the merger of Schweitzer-Mauduit International (SWM) and Neenah, Inc., headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company operates through two reportable segments: Filtration & Advanced Materials (filter media, engineered films, nettings, cores, and tubes serving industrial filtration, healthcare, transportation, water purification, wind turbines, and infrastructure) and Sustainable & Adhesive Solutions (specialty papers, release liners, healthcare adhesives, packaging solutions, and industrial adhesive tapes serving automotive, consumer wellness, graphic arts, and industrial end markets). Its underlying technology combines polymers, fibers, and resins to produce engineered materials for demanding performance applications, with proprietary platforms including Argotec TPU interlayer films for glass lamination and an electrochromic window (eWindow) technology developed in partnership with Miru Smart Technologies.

Mativ manufactures on three to four continents and sells in over 100 countries through a portfolio of sub-brands — Argotec, Neenah, Gessner, Scapa Industrial, Scapa Healthcare, Conwed, ITASA, Indafor, Barnier, Tekra, Delstar, Southworth, Astrobrights, and Renfrew Pro — serving enterprise customers via direct B2B field sales, with pricing on a quote-based, undisclosed basis. The company reported FY2025 net sales of $1,987.0 million (up 0.3% reported, up 2.5% organic), adjusted EBITDA of $224.7M (margin 11.3%, +30 bps), and record free cash flow of $93.8M, while taking a $411.9M goodwill impairment that drove a full-year GAAP loss of $337.4M.

The company has undergone significant portfolio and organizational reshaping since its formation: divestiture of the Engineered Papers business for $620 million (December 2023), a two-segment realignment targeting $40 million of overhead cost reduction (announced January 2024), leadership turnover including a new CEO (Shruti Singhal, March 2025) and CFO (Scott Minder, effective January 2026), and a strategic equity investment in Miru Smart Technologies (January 2026) to commercialize electrochromic window technology in automotive and architectural markets. Capital structure activity has been active, including a $400M senior notes issuance (September 2024), a $500M JPMorgan-led leveraged loan (March 2026), and a ~$894.9M credit facility amendment (April 2026).
