After the first ‘paper on reel’ on 31st March, Leipa will soon complete the startup period of its PM5 and begin supplying customers with uncoated Whitetop Testliner from PM5.
Leipa Group CEO, Peter Probst, says, “We look forward to growing successfully with our customers and partners. The demand for Whitetop Liner remains consistently high and the trend is rising. Prices are at a high level as well. These factors result in excellent conditions for the market launch of the PM5.”
Leipa have developed a one-stop shop for their customers, with the PM3 and PM5 offering an annual total capacity of 700,000 tons of coated and uncoated Whitetop Testliner.
Christian Schürmann, COO of Leipa Georg Leinfelder GmbH said, “The entire project team has done a great job rebuilding PM5. We will produce a state-of-the-art testliner on this machine – and start with our first deliveries in April.”
