According to reports, spring 2017 is the date set for the construction of a new packaging facility for Deufol in Cheb, Czech Republic. With an original plan coming into place in July 2016, we now know that the unit will be the 81st different operation of Deufol and will be added to the six operations that already exist in the Czech Republic.
Cheb has proven to be an interesting choice so far but the company state that its geographical location within Europe make it a wise decision. Once completed, the operation will include Industry 4.0 for digital networking.
Company Profile - Through the years, Deufol has built a solid reputation within the packaging services industry and has also expanded further. Mainly, they look to deal with logistics services, automated packaging, export and industrial packaging, promotion and display packaging, data packaging, and smart IT solutions for supply chain. Currently, their headquarters can be found in Frankfurt, Germany, and they have over 80 different operations across eleven countries. With this in mind, the company employ over 2,700 people and achieved over €320 million in revenue last year alone.
Stora Enso has now shown off its latest investment to the world after opening a modern sawmill in Murow, Poland. Thought to have cost around €28 million, the company were aiming to increase the capacity of the mill in order to improve the competitiveness of the company as a whole.
Thanks to excellent infrastructure and highly-qualified, experienced staff, Stora Enso has been allowed to run efficiently in recent years and this has been helped along by the fact that they are located close to their market as well as raw materials. With the expansion, the sawmill can now process 400,000 m3 per year as opposed to the 70,000 m3 they were restricted to previously. In terms of the raw materials themselves, the mill currently looks to utilise spruce and pine from the forests that surround them.
Currently, both the PEFC Chain of Custody and FSCTM allow the mill’s wood to be traced.
