Board Converting News, Flexo Market News Combine Forces

Box Shipments ( U.S. Corrugated Product Shipments) Industry Shipments In Billions of Square Feet Month September 2023

Beginning in 2024, Board Converting News will be incor- porating its sister publication Flexo Market News into its weekly publication, combining their respective editorial, sales and management teams. The publications have served the corrugated, folding carton and flexo industries, respectively, for more than a combined 65 years. “We continue to grow and expand every year,” said Len Prazych, President/Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of NV Publications, parent company of BCN and FMN, “al- ways searching for ways to bring increased awareness and value to our customers. This is another exciting move for the company, adding additional levels of editorial coverage for our readers and market awareness for our sponsors.” “Board Converting News is the undisputed premiere publication serving the corrugated market,” said FMN Ed- itor Greg Kishbaugh. “Combining all the resources of FMN with those of an industry leader such as BCN opens up untold opportuni- ties for the future.” The new venture will begin with the January 1, 2024 issue.
