Segezha Group launches commercial production of white paper

Segezha Group has launched commercial production of two new products: white semi-flexible and white high-porosity paper. These are manufactured at the company’s flagship Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill (Karelia). The new products are supplied both to the Group’s in-house converting facilities for the production of paper packaging as well as to third-party customers in Russia and abroad.

The production process complies with the highest environmental standards. The paper is produced on BDM-11, the most advanced and technologically sophisticated paper machine in both Russia and Europe. The raw material (cellulose) is prepared using cutting-edge equipment: an Andritz pulper (Austria) was installed last year especially for this project, and the water treatment system was also modernised.
