Stora Enso has started a partnership with Oppboga Bruk AB, leading producer of multiply paperboard for signs, displays and packaging, for the lamination and sale of Ensocoat 2S™ in 450, 500 and 600gsm.
“Our Scandinavian neighbour will ensure high-quality service thanks to their proximity to our manufacturing plant and the wide range of raw paper reels they hold at their site in Fellingsbro”, says Tomas Larsson, Head of Product Line SBS, FBB, Liner & Book Paper at Stora Enso.
Oppboga Bruk’s recent investment in a new purpose-built machine attests to the company’s determination to retain their status as one of Europe’s top laminators. Oppboga Bruk inaugurated the bespoke 50m-long lamination machine weighing 110 tons in September 2024. In addition to increased production capacity, the machine allows for even higher quality output than previously. This is thanks to the moisture profile of the board being constantly monitored and, if needed, automatically adjusted, which results in consistent sheet flatness of the paperboard compound.
Andrew Robinson, CEO of Oppboga Bruk, is delighted to be partnering with Stora Enso on their well-known and reputable brand Ensocoat 2S™, the two-side fully coated multilayer solid bleached board. “We will do our utmost to promote this world-class luxury packaging and graphic board to the more than 40 countries where Oppboga is active.”
