Mondi Completes EUR 95 million Investment at Swiecie Containerboard Mill in Poland

14 October 2024

Mondi recently completed an EUR 95 million investment at its Swiecie containerboard mill in Poland, which will increase kraftliner capacity by 55,000 tonnes per year.

The upgrade includes an extensive rebuild of paper machines PM2 and PM5, a new anaerobic treatment plant including an integrated cooling system, and upgrades to the pulp mill, the recycled fiber line and the energy recovery system.

According to Mondi, these improvements will allow the mill to meet growing customer demand for heavy-duty packaging for large and heavy products, enhance product quality, and bolster its environmental performance by decreasing water consumption and wastewater emissions and increasing energy efficiency.

"The completion of this project marks a milestone for Mondi Swiecie, enabling us to advance our operations and deliver even higher-quality paper to our customers," said Tomasz Katewicz, Managing Director of Mondi Swiecie. "I am proud of our team's exceptional skills and commitment, which were crucial in achieving these goals."

Since the project's completion in June, Mondi Swiecie has also expanded its ProVantage SmartKraft Brown portfolio with a broader range of grammage options, the company noted.
