New Leaf Paper Acquires Arnold Grummer's

4 July 2023

New Leaf Paper, Inc has acquired Arnold Grummer's LLC. The Wisconsin-based company distributes nationwide as the preferred supplier of hand papermaking kits.

Arnold Grummer's will remain in Wisconsin, with headquarters moving to New Leaf Paper in Appleton. Oversight of Arnold Grummer's will move forward with Paul Bradshaw as President and Sabrina Schwietzer as Executive Vice President, both from New Leaf Paper, with transition support from Kim Grummer.

"We're excited to continue the legacy of the Arnold Grummer's brand, and to provide quality hand papermaking items. The Grummer family has built a unique set of products for education and artist communities, and have provided valuable contributions to the papermaking industry's history," said Paul Bradshaw, CEO of New Leaf Paper. "The mission and vision for the two brands align wonderfully," continued Bradshaw.

"We look forward to furthering sustainability principles into Grummer's product line, while continuing focus on high-quality products, outstanding service, and meaningful innovations," said Sabrina Schwietzer, VP of Marketing and Sales of New Leaf Paper.

According to Kim Grummer, the timing is right. "It's a perfect time for me to do what's best for my family and the business. With the transition to New Leaf, I get to ensure that my father's legacy will continue by helping to support the team in the upcoming months, while ensuring our customers have product access for years to come," said Grummer.
