Smurfit Kappa's Facture Paper Mill celebrates 90th
anniversary
Smurfit Kappa's Cellulose du Pin Paper Mill in Facture, France
is celebrating its 90th anniversary. The mill, which began
operating in 1928, quickly established itself as a leading supplier
of kraftliner in France and then extended its reach throughout
Europe.
The Cellulose du Pin mill produces kraftliner from local
maritime pine and recycled fibres and has a strategic location in
the heart of the Aquitaine Forest beside a major transport route
connecting Madrid, Bordeaux and Paris.
The plant produces 500,000 tonnes of kraft annually. Smurfit
Kappa's paper-based packaging is the packaging of choice for many
brands which are seeking a more sustainable, high quality
alternative to plastic and it is used widely in both the eCommerce
and retail sectors. Kraft paper in particular is a very suitable
material for the high-specification digital print used to make
brands stand out on the shelf.
Commenting about reaching the milestone, CEO of Smurfit Kappa
Cellulose du Pin, Nicolas Le Feuvre, said: "With 90 years of
experience behind us, we look forward to the future with
confidence. The ingredients for success are there; on one hand we
have a group that strongly supports our development with ongoing
investment and on the other hand we have the expertise of our
talented employees working together to help us reach the highest
European standards."
The mill will celebrate its 90th anniversary between 15th to
24th June with a range of events planned including an exhibition
showcasing how the circular economy is at the heart of its
operations and tours of the mill.
The Cellulose du Pin Paper Mill is part of Smurfit Kappa's
worldwide global network managed through an optimised supply chain
system.
