Mativ Holdings Business Summary

Mativ Holdings, Inc. (MATV) is a global specialty materials manufacturer that generates revenue through the production and sale of high-performance substrates, films, and fibers to B2B and consumer brands across approximately 100 countries. The company operates through two primary segments: Filtration & Advanced Materials, which engineers filtration media, protective films, and industrial netting, and Sustainable & Adhesive Solutions (SAS), which focuses on release liners, tapes, labels, and specialty packaging. Following the strategic divestiture of its legacy Engineered Papers business, Mativ has pivoted toward high-margin applications such as AI data center filtration and automotive optical films. Its primary competitors include Nordson Corporation, Sylvamo Corporation, Rayonier Advanced Materials, and Magnera; Mativ occupies a unique position as a consolidated mid-cap leader, leveraging its 2022 merger-derived scale to provide integrated materials science solutions. The leadership team is headed by President and CEO Shruti Singhal, who took office in March 2025 and previously held executive roles at Galata Chemicals, Chroma Color, and Dow Chemical. Key executives include CFO Scott Minder, who joined in December 2025 from Hyster-Yale and PPG Industries, and Group President Ryan Elwart, formerly the Chief Customer Officer at Georgia-Pacific. Digital transformation and information technology are led by CIO Rajeev Kapur, whose background includes senior roles at Kimberly-Clark, Nike, and Under Armour. Formed by the 2022 merger of Schweitzer-Mauduit International (SWM) and Neenah, Inc., the company is overseen by Board Chair Dr. Kimberly E. Ritrievi, a former Goldman Sachs investment research director, and maintains a strong institutional investor base including BlackRock, Rubric Capital Management, and Vanguard.
