MM Karton expands raw material supply

Mayr-Melnhof (MM) Karton has signed an agreement to acquire a high-grade CTMP production plant near Trondheim, Norway.

MM Karton has acquired the site from Sweden’s Södra Cell AB, at a price of €4 million.

The chemithermomechanical pulp plant adds a capacity of 130,000t, and reduces MM Karton’s reliance on external supplies.

MM Karton is the largest producer of coated recycled cartonboard worldwide with a growing position in virgin fiber-based cartonboard.
