SCA Obbola produces packaging paper for consumer and transport packaging, largely based on fresh wood fibre.
SCA has been present in Obbola for more than 100 years. Initially, only kraft pulp was produced and in 1975, the world's broadest paper machine for kraftliner production was inaugurated. We are very proud of our modern plant, which, after considerable investment, now has a completely new pulp mill.
We have expanded the paper mill further and built a new paper machine. The production will increase from the current 450,000 tons of kraftliner per year to 725,000 tons of kraftliner per year.
We call our product Kraftliner, which is a robust, unbleached paper that comprises the surface layer of corrugated board.
SCA has built a new paper machine for the production of kraftliner at its Obbola paper mill in Umeå, Sweden. The annual production in Obbola will increase from the current 450,000 tonnes of kraftliner to 725,000 tonnes to meet the growing demand for renewable packaging.
Our 300 employees produces 450 000 tonnes paper every year.
Out of spruce and pine from sustainably managed forests in Northern Sweden, we produce kraft pulp, the most important raw material for our products. In addition, we also use carefully selected, high-quality recovered paper and biofuel in the process.
