MM Karton to invest over Euro 100 million in Frohnleiten board mill. “This is the largest investment that the MM Group has ever made in Austria,” describes MM CEO Peter Oswald the comprehensive renewal and expansion program for the Austrian MM Karton Frohnleiten board mill in the years 2021-2022.
Innovative fully digitalized processes will significantly increase the efficiency of the stock preparation while reducing specific energy and water consumption. The latest production technologies in cartonboard manufacturing will increase product quality and capacities as a prerequisite for further applications of recycled cartonboard, e.g. also as a substitute for plastic. Highly automated logistics will significantly accelerate the movement of goods.
The MM Group is Europe's largest producer of board and folding cartons. More than 1.7 million tonnes of cartonboard are produced annually, a third of which is manufactured by around 570 employees at the Austrian Frohnleiten board mill.
