PG Paper introduces Opal containerboard to the UK

PG Paper has forged a strategic partnership with Opal, focussing on the Australasian paper and packaging company’s containerboard portfolio.

This range of grades includes a virgin Kraftliner with a bright, smooth surface ideal for high-quality printing, along with 100% recycled Fluting and Testliner grades.

Part of Opal’s Paper Division, the Kraftliner is manufactured at the Maryvale Mill in Australia, while the recycled Testliner and Fluting are produced at the Botany Mill.

Kelly Drew, International Sales Operations Manager, Opal, commented, “We’re delighted to appoint PG Paper as our UK distribution partner for our Kraftliner, Testliner and Fluting grades. PG Paper’s UK presence and local service, combined with their export knowledge, provide a fantastic opportunity for market growth.”

To lead this distribution partnership with Opal, PG Paper has appointed Martin Ferrari as their new Regional Sales Director.

Lyndsey James-Williams, Commercial Director, PG Paper, added, “At PG Paper, we are committed to offering our customers innovative deep-sea alternatives that enhance supply chain resilience. Opal’s advancements in quality allow us to provide packaging options that meet market demands and help our customers mitigate supply chain risks. We are delighted to announce the appointment of Martin as the Regional Sales Director. His market expertise will be instrumental in leading this initiative.”
