M-real has successfully completed the rebuild of its Kyro mill in Finland, where it makes the high quality folding boxboards Carta Elega and Avanta Prima – especially recommended for beautycare and healthcare packaging. The rebuild increases the mill’s capacity by 40,000 tonnes per annum to 190,000 tpa, and is part of M-real’s investment programme, targeted at improving availability and service to customers.
“The increased capacity will allow us to offer our customers better service, with shorter lead times on orders and greater availability,” says Mika Joukio, Senior Vice President and Head of M-real Consumer Packaging. “We believe demand for our fresh forest fibre products will continue to increase, due to their purity, lightweight and sustainability.”
