Progroup has officially opened the new PW14 corrugated board format plant in Stryk\u00f3w, Poland. The new high-tech plant is expected to produce up to 200,000 tonnes of corrugated board formats per year.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Together with the existing neighbouring plant PW07, it even has a production capacity of 825 million square metres per year. This means that Stryk\u00f3w is now one of the world's largest corrugated cardboard production sites.<\/strong> Progroup has invested around 72 million euros in the project on the approximately 28,000 square metre site and created 50 new jobs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Almost all common types of corrugated board can be produced at the PW14 plant, with a working width of 3.35 metres and a production speed of 400 metres per minute. The centrepiece of the corrugator is the Facer MF-A concept module developed by BHS Corrugated Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH.<\/strong> It was used for Progroup<\/a> with a working width of 3.35 metres for the first time ever.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>

\u201eOur aim has always been to be the technology leader in the industry. This requires testing new generations of machines with partners like BHS and working together to put them into stable operation.\u201c<\/p>

Maximilian Heindl,<\/strong> Chairman of the Management Board of Progroup<\/p><\/blockquote>

The MF-A concept ensures a particularly efficient production process and optimum corrugated board quality. This results in high-quality single and double wall Next Board corrugated board formats with B, C and E flutes in all combinations. Next Board products score highly in comparison to conventional corrugated board with a significantly lower use of energy and raw materials and reduce CO2<\/sub>-emissions per tonne of corrugated board<\/strong> by an average of 26 per cent - with increased strength values.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For the best possible low CO2<\/sub>-emissions are also ensured by the modern combined heat, power and cooling plant<\/strong>. Depending on requirements, waste heat from the company's own electricity generation is either utilised in an absorption chiller to \u201eproduce\u201c cold or the heat is fed into the heating circuit. This saves significantly on fossil fuels. \u201eWe are thus taking another important step towards a resource-conserving and independent energy supply,\u201c says Heindl.<\/p>

The manufacturer of corrugated base paper and corrugated board formats is already implementing numerous measures at its sites to improve its environmental footprint. In Eisenh\u00fcttenstadt, Germany, for example, it operates a waste-to-energy power plant that supplies the neighbouring paper machine entirely with steam and also generates electricity. Residual materials - some of which come from paper production itself - are thermally utilised for this purpose.<\/strong> By 2045, the company will be completely CO2<\/sub>-be neutral.\u00a0<\/p>

The work also includes a 32 metre high, fully automated high-bay warehouse with more than 14,000 storage locations and four automated storage and retrieval machines<\/strong>. It has a capacity of up to two days' production of corrugated board formats and thus enables perfect just-in-time delivery by decoupling the production of corrugated board and packaging production on the customer side.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This also benefits Gatner Packaging<\/a>. The Polish packaging manufacturer has set up its plant right next to PW14. Gatner Packaging and Progroup have been working together successfully for many years at the Trzcinica site, and now also in Stryk\u00f3w: Progroup sends its corrugated board formats to its neighbour by a short route, who can process them directly<\/strong>, without the need for lorry transports. The close integration of the logistics and production processes of both companies significantly reduces CO2<\/sub>-emissions and freight costs are saved. This results in an extremely sustainable packaging park.\u00a0<\/p>

PW14 is located together with PW07 and the PW10 plant in Trzcinica. Progroup's third production facility in Poland - and the family-owned company's twelfth corrugated board sheeting plant in total.\u00a0<\/strong>Progroup is thus strengthening its market position in Central and Eastern Europe and consistently pursuing its growth strategy.<\/p>
