Denmaur has confirmed the launch of its Carton Board division as of 1st July. The new division is being headed by Clive Townsend, who is overseeing the budget, strategy, and product portfolio. Michael Townsend, has been appointed Head of Sales for both the Reel Fast and Carton Board divisions.
Clive and Michael have worked with Denmaur for several years as Townsend Board, contributing to the development of a number of board products. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that will ensure the new Carton Board division will complement Denmaur’s existing Paper and Paper Management sales divisions. It is also expected their appointment will leverage the strengths of the company’s Reel Fast proposition, enhancing Denmaur’s position in the board market.
In conjunction with the establishment of the new Board division, Denmaur has also introduced a new Reel Fast carton board product into the UK: Formakote Spectra. An FSC® certified product, Formakote Spectra is a coated kraft back hard-sized board manufactured by the Whakatane mill in New Zealand. Known for its strength, it’s suitability for can and bottle packaging as well as chiller and freezer end-use applications. Sample packs are available on request.
Denmaur has secured exclusivity for the mills products in the UK, allowing them to offer deckle-free sizes delivered within five days from receipt of order. This rapid delivery capability is a significant advantage for customers requiring timely and tailored solutions.
Formakote Spectra has been added to Denmaur’s Reel Fast carton board product lineup, joining Aura Fold Plus, which was launched in February.
The launch of the Carton Board division and the introduction of Formakote Spectra reflect Denmaur’s commitment to innovation and sustainability-based solutions. The company was the first merchant to register its near term and Net Zero carbon commitments with the SBTi earlier this year and has since reached the milestone of 200,000 tonnes of Carbon Balanced Paper sales since its launch in 2016. Not surprisingly, the strapline for the Reel Fast service is ‘Reduce: Size, Cost, Weight, Carbon’.
