Heinzel Group to build second paper machine in Pöls

The Heinzel Group has now initiated its next strategic initiative in the packaging paper segment. This will see the installation of a second large paper machine for the production of bleached kraft papers at the Zellstoff Pöls AG location in Austria. So-called MG papers are employed for flexible packaging and demonstrate above-average market growth. Kurt Maier, the Heinzel Holding CEO: “Using the new machine, we will be able to manufacture 200,000 tonnes of MG papers annually at the Pöls location. With pulp production in Pöls being expanded at the same time, this has only marginal impact on our annual market pulp capacity of 400,000 tonnes. Following our recent investments at our Raubling and Laakirchen mills, the Pöls project represents another step forward on our packaging paper segment path.”

Naturally enough, Andreas Vogel, the Zellstoff Pöls AG CEO, is also delighted at the prospect of spending in the three-digit million range at his mill: “The installation in 2013 of the first large machine for our Starkraft papers was already a success story and now our aim is to become the largest producer in this market segment.” Building work for the new machine is to commence in Pöls during this summer and operation is scheduled to start in early 2019.

The additional capacity is not only intended for the enhanced service of Starkraft customers in Europe, but also makes Zellstoff Pöls AG consider itself well-equipped for the global market. Werner Hartmann, the Director of the Starkraft Business Unit in Pöls: “We will be able to offer all our customers attractive and highly specialised papers produced on a state of the art machine and possessing the same quality and reliability that has characterized Starkraft already for years.”

Implementation of the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products at UPM Plywood

The verification that UPM Plywood’s products have not caused deforestation or forest degradation and that the commodities used in UPM Plywood’s products have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation will be based on a due diligence process. UPM Plywood is a so-called downstream operator manufacturing its products from other products that have already undergone due diligence in accordance with EUDR. Therefore, UPM Plywood’s due diligence process consists of referring to due diligence statements submitted previously in the supply chain and verifying that its suppliers have adequate due diligence systems in place. Prior to placing its products on the market, UPM Plywood will submit a DDS to the EU Information System Traces. The EU information system will produce an associated reference number that UPM Plywood will share with its customers. The chart below describes the basics of EUDR implementation in UPM Plywood. The supplier of wood or other relevant commodities provides the first DDS with geolocation information to Traces and gets associated reference numbers (REF) from the system.
