The main aim of the investment is to increase production of the share of value-added products, such as White-Top Kraftliner, which, for example, is used for packaging of fast-moving consumer goods with high quality print.
As a result of the SEK 540m investment, Munksund will be able to increase its total annual kraftliner capacity to 415,000 tonnes from the current level of 360,000 tonnes. The bulk of the investment, SEK 400m, will be used to upgrade the paper machine. The remaining SEK 140m will finance the replacement of the pressure vessel in the soda-recovery boiler, which will enhance heat recovery and enable increased future output.The main aim of the investment is to increase production of the share of value-added products, such as White-Top Kraftliner, which, for example, is used for packaging of fast-moving consumer goods #
