Mark Beamesderfer

Packaging Director- Metsa Board Americas

With over 30 years of experience in prepress, print, converting, and design, my career has spanned multiple sectors and continents. I started in books, directories, and scientific journals, building a strong foundation in print production.

In 2004, my career brought me to Singapore and China, which marked a significant transition in my professional path. Shortly thereafter, I transitioned into packaging, establishing a new, US-based packaging facility from the ground up in Jiangsu Province, China.

In 2011, I joined Metsä Board in their Shanghai office, where I managed a network of packaging partner workflows supporting international brand owners. During this time, I developed and implemented the company's global packaging design service.

I returned to the United States in 2015 and now work with Metsä Board's Norwalk, Connecticut office. My current role focuses on supporting paperboard sales by expanding the company's capabilities in packaging lightweighting, design, and packaging optimization.

My professional journey has been characterized by adaptability, technical expertise, and a commitment to innovation across different focus areas and geographic regions.
