At three locations in Germany, Progroup produces high-quality containerboard exclusively on the basis of recovered paper. The three high-performance plants ensure that Progroup's eleven corrugated sheetfeeder plants receive a continuous supply of raw materials. With its “K-Line” and “SLW-Line” product lines, Progroup offers a wide range of paper grades. .
Own paper supply
Progroup supplies a wide range of different paper varieties with grammages of from 60 to 230g/m2. The special technology of the PM2 paper machine makes it possible to produce light, fibre-saving papers from the Next FibreⓇ brand for “Next Generation” corrugated board that is lighter and powerful at the same time.
K-LINE
Created for many assignments. Programmed for strong performance.
The requirements placed on kraft papers today extend in two directions: specialist papers for specific applications and less fibre use while retaining consistent strength properties. Progroup is able to meet both demands with the K-line. Depending on where the packaging is going to be used, priority is given to different strength criteria for the papers and corrugated board – such as penetration resistance and stackability. Progroup uses four steps to adapt the papers to suit the relevant performance requirements.
SWL-LINE
The “green” basis for a corrugated board generation.
Recovered paper is the most important raw material used in the manufacture of containerboard today. Global demand is rising – the supply is becoming scarcer and the price will continue to fluctuate at a high level.
