Rebuild in M-real Kemi mill completed

M-real has successfully completed a rebuild at its M-real Kemi linerboard mill in Finland on schedule by 6th October 2011. The rebuild will enable further development of coated kraftliners with superior printability.

 “Attractive packaging provides significant competitive advantage in retail business. As a result, brand owners as well as printers and converters are carefully examining the linerboard they use for corrugated packaging. Quality of print results combined with sustainability are the major drivers on their route to success,” says Mika Joukio, Senior Vice President and Head of M-real Consumer Packaging.

To support its customers’ businesses, M-real has invested EUR 16 million in upgrading the coating section at the mill. The M-real kraftliner range includes products suitable for flexo, offset, inkjet and screen printing.
