The approved investment includes rebuilding the press part of the paper machine and sections of the pulping line and wood room. It is planned to be carried out mainly during 2015. The investment will, in addition to the enhanced quality properties, also allow for a higher production output, approximately 40,000 ton.
“Billerud Flute® is already today world leading with its unique strength properties. Through the investment and its product quality impact, we want to create further value for users of Billerud Flute® in demanding corrugated applications. This value creation is the core of the strategy for our business area Containerboard,” explains Lennart Eberleh, SVP Containerboard.
