lence have shaped the company’s legacy and helped Mal- nove to maintain its independence. This gesture of respect and appreciation symbolizes the deep-rooted partnership and friendship between Koe- nig & Bauer and Malnove while also serving as a reminder of the values and dedication that continue to drive both companies forward. Ralf Sammeck, CEO of Koenig & Bau- er Segment Sheetfed, expressed his desire to dedicate the plaque to “honor Paul and what he has achieved in his life.” Eric Malnove, Malnove’s owner, who brought his 4-year- old daughter, Charlotte, reiterated Malnove’s commitment to its customers and its employees. “Throughout his life, my father instilled in us the values of hard work, integrity, and independence,” he said. “He believed in the power of family, the strength of a team, and the importance of investing in the latest technologies to stay ahead in the

of 18,000 sheets/hour, precision, and versatility. These ad- vancements allow Malnove to continue to cater to a di- verse range of packaging requirements for its clients. In addition, this investment aligns with Malnove’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. The Koenig & Bauer Rapida 145 press utilizes eco-friendly practices to help minimize waste and energy consumption during the printing process. By incorporat- ing environmentally-conscious technologies into its oper- ations, Malnove is taking strides towards its sustainability goals and contributing to a greener future for the packag- ing industry. The plaque, unveiled during a ceremony held at Mal- nove’s Omaha plant, pays tribute to the visionary leader whose entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excel-

industry. It is with that spirit that we unveil our new Koenig & Bauer printing press, a piece of equipment that supports our next generation and embodies the progress that we have made.” Paul Malnove founded Malnove Inc. in 1948. His legacy continues after his death at the age of 97. Domtar Announces $5K Donation To Local College Domtar’s Kingsport Mill in Kingsport, Ten- nessee, announced its presentation of a $5,000 donation to Northeast State Com- munity College. The funds will be used for scholarships and were given as a token of acknowledg- ment for the invaluable use of the college’s Regional Center for Advanced Manufactur- ing (RCAM) facility during the mill’s recent conversion. “We are very grateful for the hospitality and support shared by Northeast State,” said Troy Wilson, Kingsport Mill Manager. “While our mill was shut down, we were able to train employees at RCAM in prepa- ration for the startup of our new machine.” In 2020, Domtar announced plans to transform the mill’s uncoated freesheet pa- per machine into the second-largest 100 percent recycled containerboard machine in North America. Operations resumed in January 2023, and the machine can produce approximate- ly 600,000 tons of recycled linerboard and corrugated medium annually. The mill is the largest recycled manufacturer in the state of Tennessee.
