To assist in the relief efforts after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, GPA Specialty Substrate Solutions employees generously pulled together to make a $5,000 donation. All employee contributions were matched by GPA as part of the company's ongoing philanthropic focus.

Chicago-based GPA Specialty Substrate Solutions has promoted Bob Niesen to the position of senior vice president of sales and marketing. Serving as a key member of the senior management team, Niesen will play a critical role in revenue generation, strategic marketing and brand development for the company.
