Quality leaders in SC papers.
Papers from SCA Graphic Laakirchen are considered to be of the highest quality available in the uncoated mechanical paper sector.
Our product range includes glossy, wood-containing natural papers suitable for use in magazines, newspaper supplements, catalogues and brochures. Each product has its own characteristics and has to satisfy different requirements, depending on their application and the printing process used. The demands made on all our products are stringent: high press runability and excellent printability are a must.
Laakirchen’s standard products - GraphoGravure and GraphoGrande for rotogravure 
printing and GraphoSet for offset printing – are regarded as the best choice by many of the mill’s customers among the leading publishing and printing companies. These papers have particularly good printing qualities.
The new paper machine PM 11 (start-up in 2002) not only increased the mill’s capacity but enabled to broaden Laakirchen’s product range as well as to complement SCA’s range of publication papers for offset printing.
The new product GraphoNova has set a totally new standard in the uncoated mechanical paper segment. This paper provides a performance that was previously only possible with LWC.
The lately introduced GraphoPrestige is a premium printing paper for rotogravure printing and offers very high brightness and printed gloss.
Environment
Laakirchen has also played a pioneering role through its environmental work. The mill uses a high proportion of recycled paper in its production, without compromising on product quality. Laakirchen was also one of the first paper producers to go over to exclusive use of TCF (totally chlorine-free) kraft pulp – of which Östrand pulp mill is a key supplier. The mill has also been praised for its success in reducing the amount of waste from the plant, achieved partly by finding new application areas for residual products.
Ultramodern technologies, efficient measures, ecological far-sightedness and the striving for constant improvements are all characteristics of environmental management as it is performed at SCA Graphic Laakirchen.
