Mohawk serves the creative needs of designers, brand-owners and printers in more than 60 countries with carefully crafted papers designed to make print more beautiful, effective and memorable in a digital-first world. As a family-owned business for four generations, they strive to treat everyone like family; from their 600 Mohawk employees to their customers and partners, with a business model built on relationships, handshake-level trust, communication and honesty towards everyone they work with. And, because they care about our environment, they do all this with future generations in mind, by sourcing pulps responsibly, conserving the water the craft relies on, and harnessing wind power for their mills.
“At our core, we are a company of makers. We make real things that make a real impact. We make connections between people and ideas. What we make helps print go from simply good to truly great.” | mohawkconnects.com
