“The quality of the technologies supplied by Andritz is outstanding and cooperation with the team was excellent, so we are very satisfied with this project,” says Stanisa Lukic, Technical Director of UMKA.
Following numerous rebuilds over the past few years, the UMKA mill now has an annual capacity of 125,000 tons. The company’s plan is to increase the capacity to 170,000 tons by the end of 2015. The board produced on the 3.2-meter-wide machine is mainly used as packaging for food, confectionery, pharmaceuticals, and other special products. The board is also laminated for use as transport packaging.
