BillerudKorsnäs is launching two feasibility studies — one regarding investment into a new board machine at its mill in Gruvön, Sweden; and the other regarding the streamlining and development of the production structure for packaging papers.
According to the company, the new machine would become one of the most cost efficient in the world with a capacity of approximately 500,000 tons per year of liquid packaging board, cartonboard, food service board and white kraftliner.
In addition, an investment decision would also include a streamlining of the production structure within the business area Packaging Paper, as the current production of kraft papers at the Gruvön production unit would be discontinued and replaced by production at other BillerudKorsnäs mills.
A decision about the potential investment scenarios is expected to be made during 2016.
