Ahlstrom, Helsinki, Finland, reports that it has completed the earlier announced EUR 7 million investments at its Stenay plant in France. With the investment, the plant successfully expanded its product portfolio of one-side coated papers for metalized labels and flexible packaging.
The grades produced on Stenay's PM 3 now span from 50 to 160 gsm. These coated papers can be used for metalized beer labels and flexible packaging applications such as biscuits, sweets, coffee bags, pharmacy, pet food bag outer liners, tea envelopes, tobacco pouches, and as bundle wraps for yoghurt pots.
"By lowering the weight of a paper used for metalized labels, flexible packaging, and other graphics and industrial applications, Ahlstrom responds to the need for lighter papers to reduce the weight of packaging and labels and consequently lower their environmental footprint," said Daniele Borlatto, EVP, Label and Processing.
With the investment, Ahlstrom offers additional benefits to its customers, such as improved performance during the converting process. 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.
