Peter Oswald, MM CEO: “In the 2022 financial year, the MM Group grew significantly both organically and through acquisitions in terms of earnings and sales in a macroeconomically and geopolitically challenging environment. Demand for our natural, recyclable packaging products made from renewable raw materials was dynamic for much of the year and customers value our investments in competitive locations, innovation and sustainability. The energy and raw materials crisis presented MM with special challenges that were successfully overcome overall. Selling price adjustments compensated for the massive increases in energy and raw material costs. In addition, we succeeded in ensuring the continuous supply of our customers despite unstable supply chains.

The acquisitions of Essentra Packaging and Eson Pac, completed in 2022, position MM as a global player in pharmaceutical secondary packaging and contribute to increased resilience and growth across the company. Together with the two acquisitions of the previous year in the Board & Paper division, MM Kwidzyn and MM Kotkamills, they are part of the transformation of MM to increase the added value and growth potential of the MM Group through acquisitions and operational optimization.

Income Statement
The consolidated sales of the Group reached EUR 4,682.1 million and were thus 52.5% or EUR 1,612.4 million above the previous year’s figure (2021: EUR 3,069.7 million).

At EUR 510.3 million, an operating result of EUR 240.7 million above the previous year (2021: EUR 269.6 million) was achieved.

Financial income amounted to EUR 4.3 million (2021: EUR 3.3 million). The increase in financial expenses from EUR -24.4 million to EUR -32.1 million is mainly due to the raising of promissory note loans and registered bonds in the previous year to finance acquisitions and organic growth projects.

The net income for the year thus increased by EUR 154.5 million to EUR 345.2 million (2021: EUR 190.7 million).

Fibrease™ by Stora Enso – A recyclable wood foam ready to replace polymer-based packaging solutions

The recyclable and fiber-based wood foam Fibrease™ by Stora Enso can replace e.g. polymer-based foams in packaging solutions. A partnership with Nefab has made it possible to scale up the production and broadly introduce Fibrease to the market, and it’s already being used by customers. We are all familiar with the polyurethane (PU) foam used for cushioning in packaging. It performs well when it comes to protecting products. It’s made of fossil raw materials and used frequently within a variety of industries worldwide. Now, after a successful collaboration between Stora Enso and Nefab, the fiber-based material Fibrease is ready to broadly replace polymer foams; offering brand owners sustainable packaging solutions. “We see a growing demand from eco-conscious companies to replace plastic-based foams with more sustainable alternatives. With Fibrease we can give them that,” says Johan Tegell, Product Manager, Fiber-based solutions at Nefab.
