MONDI has announced that following the launch of its €400 million paper machine at the firm’s Štětí mill in the Czech Republic in December 2024, early production runs have demonstrated ‘excellent’ results in terms of strength, runnability and consistent quality.
The company said the machine enables it to meet rising demand for paper-based flexible packaging while strengthening the group’s vertically integrated paper bags business. It also supports the optimisation of production efficiency across the kraft paper portfolio.
Roman Senecky, COO Kraft Paper, Mondi, said, “We are delighted to have started production on this paper machine. The project team did a fantastic job and ensured it was installed on time and in budget. The quality of the paper is exceptional, and we are impressed with how quickly we have been able to deliver paper that meets our customers’ expectations.”
