In the heart of Scandinavia
Living and working in the heart of Scandinavia, we are surrounded
by nature. The vast forests of inland Sweden and Norway provide
the raw materials for the premium Natural Greaseproof and Kraft
paper we produce in our four paper and pulp mills – in Bäckhammar,
Åmotfors, Säffle and Greåker – and supply for our customers in more
than 80 countries all around the globe.

Our Nordic heritage is more than a happy coincidence. The nature

here is a vital factor in the premium quality of our paper: the short
summers and cold winters mean our trees grow more slowly, creating
stronger fibres and enabling us to make stronger paper. Strict Nordic
environmental standards – and our determination to exceed them
– ensure our customers enjoy a renewable resource with a positive
environmental impact.

With a global sales network, we work closely with our customers to ensure
they get the paper that meets their specific needs. From preparing food
and baking cakes and pastries, to packaging and storing food safely and
hygienically, to the manufacture of steel, laminates, furniture, electrical
cables and even matchsticks, our paper is a part of life for people all
around the world.

We’ve been producing paper here in Scandinavia for nearly 150 years.
We are good at it, and we are proud of what we do. It’s a part of us.

Nordic Paper. It’s in our nature.

Used in packaging, sacks and a variety of specialist areas,

The forests outside our door mean the world to us. Everything we are, everything we do,
stems from the nature of our Nordic home. The carefully managed forests that surround our
four paper and pulp facilities in Sweden and Norway provide a renewable supply of quality
pulpwood that we turn into premium paper.

We are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC ®) and the Programme for
the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), ensuring we can trace back every tree
to its origin, guaranteeing a sustainable supply chain.

We know these forests, and use them in a way that provides true bioeconomic equilibrium.

Even the climate plays a role: our long, cold winters and short, cool summers mean that our trees
grow slowly, which creates much stronger fibres. That gives our paper a natural advantage.

The Nordic region is known for high standards in environmental protection and sustainability.
We meet – and exceed – all legal and industry requirements, in the consumption of
resources, energy management and emissions.
