According to its strategy of diversifying its production mix and strengthening its market position, at the end of 2023 Burgo Group kicked off a significant investment with the installation of a new triple-layer headbox on PM 2 at its Sora mill in Latium, Italy.
The mill, after a few weeks of testing and ahead of the expected timeframe, is now able to produce a multilayer board with excellent thickness and stiffness, which can stand alongside the best FBB and FSB products already on the market. The company says the improvements have been effective and can also be seen within the other ranges already in production at the same plant.
PM2 has a total capacity of around 200,000 tonnes per year and with this investment, Burgo strengthens its southern European position also in the virgin fibre board sector. The new SUN range in the FBB range consists of the TOP (GC1) and STRONG (GC2) while in the FSB range it consists of the CUP (natural, mono and bi-poly), CUP ICE and TRAY types: all qualities will be available with the product and environmental certifications required by the market.
