‘This move complements our long-term Thrive25 strategy, which focuses on growing our portfolio in packaging and specialty papers, pulp and biomaterials,’ said Mike Haws, president and CEO of Sappi North America.
The upgrade will increase the Skowhegan plant's capacity to produce solid bleached sulfate board products, which are used in packaging for cosmetics and perfume, health and beauty care, consumer electronics, confectionary and luxury drinks.
