These are manufactured at the company’s Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill (Karelia). The new products are supplied both to the Group’s in-house converting facilities for the production of paper packaging as well as to third-party customers in Russia and abroad.
According to Segezha the production process complies with the highest environmental standards. The paper is produced on BDM-11, and advanced and technologically sophisticated paper machine used in both Russia and Europe.
The raw material (cellulose) is prepared using an Andritz pulper (Austria) which was installed last year especially for this project, and the water treatment system was also modernised.
“Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, we have continued to expand our product range, launching unique products for Russia. Currently, we are Russia’s only highly porous white paper manufacturer. We are proud to be able to offer our customers a wider range and package solutions,” Alexander Kharitonov, Vice-President for Commerce at Segezha Group said.
