Mark Petersen

Director Newsprint Sales

Since 1986 Mark has experienced every facet of the paper industry — from paper converting, printing, customer service, production planning, customer service and supervision to logistics and sales. "While only four of my 20 Catalyst years have been specifically in newsprint, most of the principles of producing paper and selling it to a customer remain the same. Most of the process is about making what customers need and value and getting it to them as promised. Our value equation is quite simple — to be the preferred supplier and give the customer the best all-round value."
