Our Story
A Company Based on Tradition and Innovation
The mill was founded back in 1907 and has since the start manufactured many different paper types and qualities. From greaseproof and packaging papers back in the early 1900’s to papers for food wrapping and pouches in the 1940’s. In the 60’s the paper mill was focused on fine paper (the same product family as copy paper) and carton board for the packaging industry.
In the early 70’s the company again changed direction and entered the newsprint business, which has been the main product until today. In April 2023 the mill was sold to the Sweden Timber group. The aspiration today is to continue to be a reliable partner within the space of newsprint but at the same time broaden the product portfolio to other graphical products. First out is our new product ECO Copy – our new innovative fine paper product. This is how we reconnect with our roots.
A New Product Concept is Born
The idea with the One Planet Design concept was born in June 2023. We asked ourselves how we, as a company, can support the transition towards a more sustainable world. Our ambition and drive, together with the deep papermaking competence that resides in all our employees and with the tradition from a mill that have created innovative paper products for more than a century running through our veins, has resulted in this concept.
