New manufacturing project Belgium’s VPK Packaging has unveiled plans to invest in a new paper machine for light weight recycled con-tainerboard that is to raise the group’s capacity by about 400,000 tonnes per year.
The machine is to be operational by 2020, and its location is currently under assessment by the producer.
"With its strategic location within VPK’s packaging network and the possibility of leveraging synergies with the high performing, existing infrastructure and paper making expertise, the Blue Paper site in Strasbourg is a likely investment location," the group said in a statement.
