Ahlstrom, Finland, this week reported that it will invest a total of EUR 7 million at its Stenay plant in France to be able to produce lower grammage grades, enhancing the quality of one-side coated papers for metalized labels and flexible packaging. The investment will play a key role in responding to the current market needs for low-grammage papers, according to Jan Lång, CEO and president of Ahlstrom. The project is scheduled to be completed in mid-2012.

"As a leading player, we have been continuously improving our offering in flexible packaging and metalized labels. In addition to addressing our customers' specific needs, this investment will also have a highly positive impact on the overall quality of the production output and performance characteristics at the customers' end, Lång noted.

The Stenay plant is part of Ahlstrom's Label and Processing Business Area, which operates a total of six production sites in France, Germany, Italy, and Brazil.
