Strong market position

We are a leading producer of folding boxboards and white kraftliners in Europe, and the world’s largest producer of coated white kraftliners. In the United States, we are the largest supplier of folding boxboard. Our ownership (24.9%) in Metsä Fibre as well as our own pulp production secure self-sufficiency in pulp and enable the growth of paperboard business.

We create value for customers globally

Our customers are brand owners, retailers, converters, corrugated box manufacturers and merchants. We create value by helping our customers to advance their business and sustainability targets with our innovative paperboards and 360 services.  

As the volume of packaging grows, the world needs new, sustainable solutions to replace fossil-based materials and improve packaging recyclability. We are constantly innovating to help develop global solutions to the packaging challenges of the future.

Production units

Our eight highly efficient production units in Finland and Sweden are located close to the forests that are the source of our most important raw material: high-quality wood fibres. The high performance of our products is based on our tailor-made pulps and industry-leading technical excellence.

 

Fresh wood fibres from Nordic forests

The fresh wood fibres we use in our paperboards are a renewable resource that we can trace back to their origins in northern European forests. We are committed to the principles of regenerative forestry

 

Aiming for fossil free production and products

Metsä Board has a high ambition on sustainability. Our paperboards are lightweight and provide alternatives to plastic. Paperboard as material is recyclable, and highly recycled (Eurostat 2021). Our products also have industrial and home compostability certificates. Our goal is to achieve completely fossil-free production and products by the end of 2030.
