Recently, Norske Skog officially started up PM 3 at the Bruck mill in Austria after finalising the rebuild.
The paper machine was converted from newsprint to containerboard production for a total capex of €120m. It converts 650 tpd of recycled fibre to 600 tpd of containerboard.
“The Bruck PM3 plays a vital role in our plans to introduce 760,000 tonnes of containerboard capacity to meet the growing demand for renewable packaging, and supporting Europe in its need to replace fossil-based packaging material. It was great to be in Bruck today and to share this milestone with everyone here,” says Norske Skog CEO Tore Hansesætre.
