Obbola paper mill inaugurated: Increased capacity for better business and increased climate benefit

SCA’s new facility in Obbola, outside Umeå, has now been inaugurated. This means that the paper mill has the world’s largest machine for kraftliner and with it a significantly increased capacity to produce climate-smart packaging material.

“This is very good for SCA’s and Obbola’s competitiveness and gives us a better ability to deliver in a market that needs to grow as fossil packaging materials are phased out,” says Gustaf Nygren, Mill manager at SCA Obbola.

Capacity for kraftliner production is increasing, from 450,000 tons to 725,000 tons annually. The most visible change at the facility is the addition of the world’s largest machine, supplied by German Voith, for the production of kraftliner. The machine is 250 meters long and is estimated to weigh around 11,000 tonnes.

With Pet Ownership on the Rise, the Pet Food and Supplies Industry is Barking up the Right Side of the Tree

It’s no secret that the last few years have had their challenges – tightening economic conditions, supply chain constraints and the ongoing global pandemic to name a few. One of the bright spots for many was the opportunity to welcome a new four-legged family member into their home, – or simply spending more time spoiling their furry friends. With increased time at home, pet ownership skyrocketed, - as did the need for pet essentials. It makes sense that the pet food and supplies industry has experienced continuous growth. In fact, by 2026, U.S. households are expected to provide homes to roughly 195 million cats and dogs alone. As people continue to bring new pets into the home at an increasing rate the demand for pet supplies (and pet food and medicine in particular) naturally continues to increase.
