Productivity through streamlined production
The restructuring of fibre production and the modernisation of the liquid packaging board machines at the Imatra Mills in Finland have been completed, creating a new foundation for efficient production. Product streamlining between the Imatra Mills and the Skoghall Mill in Sweden has also been completed. Partly as a result, the Skoghall board machine no. 8 today exceeds the original quality and production targets. The acquisition of Tetra Pak´s Forshaga plastic coating plant in Sweden will play a major role in the development of Skoghall´s product palette.
Modernisation of the saturated base craft production line at the Kotka Mill in Finland facilitates participation in the steady growth of this business area. Growth in converting operations is based on acquisitions in Western Europe and on new greenfield operations in Eastern Europe. The purchase of tube plants in the UK and Sweden, as well as the start-up of new packaging factories in Hungary and the Baltic countries, are examples of this strategy. The organisation itself has also been restructured so that the packaging board core is now formed by five business groups including the new Specialty Papers Business Group.
