Meanwhile, Green Bay Packaging is also investing $30m in the press section replacement for PM1 at its Arkansas Kraft Division in Morrilton Arkansas.

Work under the project will include the installation of a new large nip press in the first press position, followed by a new shoe press in the second press position and other infrastructure upgrades.

Voith Paper will supply the equipment, while Robins & Morton will provide engineering services.

The PM1 upgrades will increase production by more than 13% and will improve efficiency when running lightweight liner-board and medium.
