These days, engineers and fitters are putting the finishing touches to major investments in equipment for PKV board production: board machine 2 will soon be able to use a completely new online sheeter, and the sheeter of board machine 3 has been extensively modernized. Both machines from the renowned Spanish manufacturer Pasaban will thus ensure even higher quality in board production in future. Among other things, this will include further improved state-of-the-art precision cutting, higher availability and thus a larger cutting capacity, so that the company is well prepared for further investments in board machines.

“High-quality cardboard made of waste paper is sustainable, flexible and resilient - this product has a future," says PKV shareholder Kristian Evers. “We have always made sure that we are as broadly based as possible for our customers. These investments will help us to move forward - together with our outstanding know-how, especially in the area of high grammages.“

Cardboard is produced in Varel in basis weights between 350 and 1400 g/m2, as gray or brown board, GD or GT and laminated quality. All products are FSC-certified and recyclable in accordance with the EN 13430 standard. Customers use the versatile products in the food industry, for industrial solutions, POS packaging or heavy-duty shipping envelopes made of brown cardboard.

Further investments in cartonboard production are in preparation, for example a modernization of the stock preparation. The Varel paper and board mill will further develop its plant in the coming years to a production capacity of one million tons of corrugated board paper and board.
