Pankaboard to make RosUpack debut

RosUpack 2014 will see Pankaboard exhibit and display information about its speciality paperboard product ranges, which includes folding boxboard as well uncoated speciality boards. Members of the Pankaboard Russian sales team, including regional sales director Vladimir Pushilin, will be present.

Pankaboard’s presence at RosUpack underlines the commitment to the Russian market, and forms part of its plans for growth and development in the Russian packaging sector throughout 2014 and beyond.

Earlier this year, Pankaboard said the sales office in St Petersburg is a ‘natural and strategic development’, and will enable it to further enhance and develop its sales and customer service efforts in Russia and the CIS  markets.

Pankaboard’s vice-president for sales and marketing Christer Nordman said: ‘RosUpack exhibition offers us a perfect forum to further introduce the company and its products to the packaging and converting industry in Russia and CIS.

‘The exhibition gives us a great opportunity to reach a wide audience and to catch the attention of new potential customers, which might have until now only little knowledge of what is available from Pankaboard. For example, as a new development we can proudly present a compostable solution (PankaPlex) for the food service industry.’

PankaPlex is produced with virgin fiber mechanical pulp in combination with a top layer consisting of chemical pulp. This results in a very bulk product with a smooth and white top layer. These characteristics make it suitable for various end uses from lamination purposes to food applications, to various tray and plate applications.
