Focus on premium fresh fibre paperboards
We focus on premium and recyclable fresh fibre paperboards,
that help our customers reduce their plastic use. Our paperboards made from renewable wood fibre are mainly used in consumer packaging and retail packaging solutions.
Strong position in a growing market
We are a leading producer of folding boxboard and white kraftliners in Europe, and globally the biggest producer of coated white kraftliners. In the USA, we are the largest supplier of folding boxboard. The global demand for paperboards is expected to grow faster than all packaging materials on average, at an annual rate of slightly over 4%. (Source: Smithers Information Ltd.).
A forerunner in sustainability
Our products support the circular economy and they have a
smaller carbon footprint compared to many other packaging
materials. Our future growth is based on more efficient
use of resources and raw materials. Our target is fossil free
production and products by the end of 2030.

Investing in sustainable growth
Population growth, urbanisation and the replacement of plastic will increase the demand for fibre-based packaging material in the long term. We respond to this demand with sustainable investments and innovative packaging solutions. We have ambitious, science-based sustainability targets and mill-specific investment plans to achieve these targets.
We are part of Metsä Group
All our wood supply is handled by Metsä Group. The wood we use is sourced from sustainably managed forests, mainly from Finland and Sweden where renewal of forests and the biodiversity of nature is secured. Our ownership (24.9%) in Metsä Fibre secures self-sufficiency in pulp and enables the growth of paperboard business.
