In September 2014 Pankaboard will install a full-width sheet cutter for BM3. The new sheeting line will increase the sheeting capacity for all uncoated speciality products from BM3 at Pankaboard. This investment will benefit customers by improving lead times for uncoated sheeted products by up to 2 weeks compared to today, as well as improving quality and consistency of sheeting.

These investments develop our market offer and strengthen our position as the leading producer of uncoated speciality boards and high substance coated folding boxboard".
