The acquisition of the Kwidzyn mill in Poland has opened up several attractive future options for MM Board & Paper. Now it is planned to enter the sack kraft paper market in order to serve the growing demand for sustainable flexible fiber-based packaging products, which is particularly also driven by the substitution of plastic. The focus will be on bleached sack kraft paper. Additionally it is planned to further increase the capacity for our ABSORBEX Saturating Kraft papers.
Peter Oswald, CEO, MM Group, said, “In 2021 we have more than doubled sales of our IPACK™ kraft paper and we plan to expand our kraft paper offering with extensible, high strength and high porous sack kraft paper by 2023/24. In addition, we will substantially expand our saturating kraft paper capacity over the next two years.”
