Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG, Austria, reports that its new cartonboard grade FOODBOARDTM is a protected internal development "representing a quantum leap in the protection of cartonboard packed foodstuff.

The core component is an ecologically sensitive and consumer friendly barrier concept. With it, packaged food is "perfectly shielded" against unintended substances from the packaging environment, the company says. Long-term series tests have been successfully completed and a special capital investment in a mid-double-digit million euro amount has been approved.

At the end of 2014, FOODBOARD will be supplied from the Mayr-Meinhof Kartons Austrian parent plant of MM Karton in Frohnleiten. This important step will strengthen customer relations as well as the competitive technological position of the MM Cartonboard Division, the company adds.

More information is available online.
