Increasing demands on packaging in the food and pharmaceutical industries are forcing manufacturers to continuously improve their materials. With MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go, Metsä Board is launching a new folding boxboard on the European market that is aimed specifically at brand owners and converters who have to operate in a volatile market environment.
MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go was developed to meet the high demands of food and pharmaceutical packaging. The board is OBA-free and hard-sized, which makes it particularly suitable for deep-freeze applications. These properties ensure consistent quality and reliability, which are essential in regulated segments.
Another highlight of the product is its contribution to sustainability. The cardboard is produced at the Swedish mill in Husum, where a high proportion of fossil-free energy is utilised. The lower weight of the material also helps to reduce the carbon footprint.
Efficient supply chains through innovative services
To meet the requirements of fast-moving markets, Metsä Board has introduced the FastTrack and ExpressTrack service concept. These services guarantee delivery within less than three weeks and ten days respectively within Europe. This enables customers to keep their inventories lean and react flexibly to market changes.
„With MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go and our new service concept, we are making production smoother, planning more predictable and supply chains more resilient - a real competitive advantage for our customers in Europe.“
Maarten Florizoone, VP Sales Europe at Metsä Board
Customised solutions for individual requirements
Thanks to production at the Husum plant and cutting to size in the Netherlands, Metsä Board can offer customised sheet formats with short and predictable lead times. This is particularly advantageous in today's world, where production continuity and fluctuating demand are among the greatest challenges.
