SCA is changing the name of its business area Paper to business area Containerboard as of January 1, 2021. Following the discontinuation of its publication paper operations during the 1Q, SCA’s paper production will consist solely of packaging paper, a product with a stable and growing demand.
SCA’s business area Containerboard will then comprise of the paper mills of Munksund, near Piteå, and Obbola, near Umeå (both in Sweden).
Together, they have a production capacity of just over 850,000 tonnes. SCA is currently investing SEK 7.5 billion ($886 million) in the Obbola paper mill, which will increase SCA’s containerboard capacity to 1,140,000 tonnes and further strengthen SCA’s position as a leading supplier of kraftliner on the European market.
The core of SCA’s business is the forest, Europe’s largest private forest holding. The company offers paper for packaging and print, pulp, wood products, renewable energy, services for forest owners and efficient transport solutions.
