The state-of-the-art containerboard machine will increase Norske Skog's containerboard capacity with 550,000 tonnes bringing the group’s total containerboard capacity to 760,000 tonnes.
Norske Skog continued to increase the market share for both publication paper and packaging paper in the quarter, despite continued pressure on utilisation rates and profitability in the industry.
The Norske Skog Boyer mill is situated in Tasmania and has a production capacity of 150,000 tonnes of newsprint and 135,000 tonnes of LWC magazine paper.
Finalising the pre-commissioning at the containerboard machine is the main outstanding item before the project is completed and production can start.
