BillerudKorsnäs goes for growth in sack papers

10 November 2014


An investment of SEK 260 million at the BillerudKorsnäs production unit in Skärblacka, Sweden, will increase the volume and improve the quality of sack papers it produces.

The investment will increase the capacity of the sack paper machine 9 by 20,000 tonnes, to 180 000 tonnes/year. Paper machine 9 produces high quality brown sack papers that are used for the construction of sacks primarily for packaging of cement, other construction minerals and chemicals. Most of these papers are sold in emerging markets outside of Europe.

"We see strong potential for our sack papers in South East Asia, where our sack paper brand QuickFill is a quality leader," says Johan Nellbeck, SVP packaging paper at BillerudKorsnäs.

The investment includes the head box and wire section of the paper machine and it will be carried out during 2015.
