M-real celebrates production of 10 million tonnes of Kemiart kraftliner in Finland

   Moscow. Jan 29, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. M-real reached a major milestone in the production of Kemiart kraftliners when the 10 millionth tonne rolled out of the mill in January 2010. The event was celebrated on 22 January at the Kemiart Liners mill in Finland, the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network.

Capacity of the mill has more than doubled to 375,000 tonnes per annum since production started in 1971. The range now consists of three different coated grades and one traditional white top grade providing a liner suitable for all printing methods including flexo, offset, and screen.

Risto Auero of M-real says: “We are proud of our achievement in passing this target, as it reflects M-real’s ability to listen to its customers and foresee the needs of brand owners and retailers. We have responded to rising demand for shelf-ready packaging, producing high quality kraftliners that provide excellent colour and half-tone reproduction, so vital in maintaining brand image and promoting the product. It goes hand in hand with the recognition that strong but lightweight secondary packaging saves costs and resources by preventing damage and waste at all stages in the supply chain.”
