At the PPA Production Awards, M-real was named Magazine Paper Supplier of the Year and received a special mention for its 'unfaltering service' during the industrial strikes in Finland earlier this year.
The nominations for the award were made by key customers and the judges picked M-real over and above Stora Enso and SCA, stating that M-real had shown the real value of a supplier by 'pulling it out of the bag' when it really mattered.
The citation went on to say: "M-real has helped to deliver global extensions to brands such as FHM, now available in 15 countries, and has an continuing research programme in to reader experience and response to magazines and advertisements.
Publishers also value M-real's environmental initiatives and credentials." M-real's second honour of the week was awarded by the APA, for the design of its customer magazine.
Designer Jeremy Leslie was named Designer of the Year in recognition of his flair and innovation in the production of the magazine, which the judges deemed 'a brilliant example of paper's potential in the creative process'.
The magazine, designed to show case M-real's Galerie Papers range, takes a different theme each issue around, which the design and editorial content is based to create a unique magazine each time.
Andrew Gunman, divisional director at M-real Publishing UK, said: "Scooping these two awards in one week is a real coup for M-real, and testimony to our commitment to serving the publishing sector.
We look forward to more award winning issues of our customer magazine, and to continuing our work with all our customers in 2006, in what I am sure will be a challenging year.".
