Oct 03, 2012. /Lesprom Network/. Arctic Paper Munkedals AB have acquired 50% of Kalltorp Kraft HB. Kalltorp Kraft HB is a water energy company running two water power stations in western Sweden with a total annual output of 5 – 5,5 GWh/year. At the same time Arctic Paper Munkedals is projecting an increase of the output at the current hydro power plant located close to the mill, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. “The acquisition of Kalltorp and expansion of the hydro power station at the mill in Munkedal - is in line with the earlier communicated strategy of Arctic Paper SA – to increase the independence of purchased energy by increasing the internal production,” says Michal Jarczyński, CEO of Arctic Paper SA. “Arctic Paper has a strong focus on modern and environmental-friendly energy generation. Already today Arctic Paper Grycksbo runs a biofuel power plant, Arctic Paper Kostrzyn runs a cogeneration gas-fired power station with efficiency over 93%,” Michal Jarczyński continues. Arctic Paper S.A. produces and markets high-quality graphic fine paper. Production takes place in Sweden at the Arctic Paper Munkedals and Arctic Paper Grycksbo mills, in Poland at Arctic Paper Kostrzyn and in Germany at Arctic Paper Mochenwangen.
