Mondi expands slitting capacity in Slovakia

Mondi, a sustainable packaging and paper manufacturer has invested in a new slitting and rewinding unit for its Slovak paper mill in Ružomberok to extend capacity in narrow reels and broaden product offering.

The equipment allows for an extended capacity in narrow reels thus complementing Mondi’s portfolio offering.

‘We want to give our customers supply security for their paper needs in folio and various reel widths and for this we needed to extend our narrow reel capacity,’ said Bernhard Cantzler, marketing and sales director at Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper.

The extended portfolio allows Mondi to service customers especially in the professional printing and converting sectors.

Mondi’s integrated pulp and paper mill located in Slovakia is fulfilling strict sustainability requirements. All Mondi uncoated fine paper brands produced at the site are Cradle to Cradle Certified at the Bronze level. This certification ensures that, regardless of the level, all certified products are safe, circular and responsibly made. Depending on the specific product the papers carry the EU Ecolabel and are chain of custody certified according to PEFC and/or FSCTM requirements.

‘Sustainability is at the core of what we do. We work together with our suppliers, customers and partners to get one step closer to our common goal of a true, fully circular economy. To achieve this, we invest in climate-efficient production assets and processes, responsibly source 100 percent of our wood and work with independent certification bodies to confirm our standards and stringent European regulations,’ added Cantzler.
