The project to expand the production capacity for folding boxboard at Mets\u00e4 Board's integrated pulp and board mill in Husum, Sweden, has been completed. The modernisation of board machine 1 (BM1) will increase the annual production capacity of folding boxboard by 200,000 tonnes to a total capacity of 600,000 tonnes. <\/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\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This means that the BM1 in Husum the largest and most modern cartoning machine in Europe<\/strong> and further strengthens Mets\u00e4 Board's position as a leading European supplier of folding boxboard.<\/p>

The BM1 produces Folding boxboard that is lightweight without sacrificing strength<\/strong>. This reduces the consumption of raw materials and also helps to reduce the CO2 footprint of packaging. The expansion of the folding boxboard capacity is a Response to the growing demand for packaging materials made from renewable raw materials<\/strong> and is realised by extending the board machine and increasing the drying capacity.<\/p>

However, the extension of the machine is only one part of the extensive project. Improvements were also made to other parts of the machine line. This will enable the company to further increase runability and quality consistency. Mets\u00e4 Board upgraded the coating system outside the machine,<\/strong> to enable higher speeds and larger jumbo rolls. At the same time, the logistics for transporting the jumbo rolls between the board machines, the coating machine, the extrusion coating line and the slitter rewinder on site were fully automated. The Full production capacity is expected to be reached by the end of 2025.<\/strong> achieved.<\/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\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201eBy increasing Husum's production capacity, we are responding to the growing demand for packaging materials that support the circular economy. The first phase of the recently completed refurbishment of the Husum pulp mill increases the production of bio-based energy and the mill's energy efficiency. This helps to further reduce the carbon footprint of our products and also helps our customers to achieve their sustainability goals.\u201c<\/p>

Mika Joukio<\/strong>, CEO of Mets\u00e4 Board<\/p><\/blockquote>

The additional capacity will mainly be for the North American and European markets<\/strong> where demand for Mets\u00e4 Board's lightweight premium fresh fibre paperboard is expected to continue to grow. Husum BM1 produces market-leading, high-quality and lightweight folding boxboard with a grammage of 175-355 g\/m2.<\/strong> The products are used for packaging dried and frozen foods, chocolate, confectionery, pharmaceutical and healthcare products, beauty care products, catering and graphic applications.<\/p>
