Metsä Board, a prominent European manufacturer of premium fresh fibre paperboards, is excited to announce the launch of MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go. This innovative folding boxboard is specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of food and drink packaging as well as pharmaceutical applications. Accompanying this product is a reliable custom-cut sheet delivery solution designed for the European market.
In the daily operations of brand owners and converters, factors such as production continuity, fluctuating demand, and strict performance requirements are ever-present. MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go blends exceptional quality with assured sheet availability, empowering customers to react swiftly, maintain lean inventories, and operate confidently within demanding packaging environments.
“Our customers operate in environments where demand can shift quickly. With MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go and our new service concept, we are making production smoother, planning more predictable, and supply chains more resilient, creating a real competitive advantage for our customers in Europe,” states Maarten Florizoone, VP Sales Europe at Metsä Board.
Designed for fast-moving brand settings, MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go guarantees consistent quality and reliable performance while addressing compliance requirements in regulated food and drink packaging as well as pharmaceutical sectors. This grade is OBA-free and features hard sizing, ensuring dependable performance even in frozen applications. Additionally, it offers opportunities to lower the packaging carbon footprint through lightweight designs and a significant share of fossil-free energy utilized in the production at the Husum mill.
MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go is manufactured at Metsä Board’s Husum facility in Sweden and is sheeted at the company’s Sheeting & Distribution Hub in the Netherlands. This setup facilitates custom-cut sheet formats with short lead times, helping customers meet their specific needs without delay.
Metsä Board’s new FastTrack Service delivers folding boxboard sheets within three weeks across Europe. For urgent requirements, the ExpressTrack Service ensures delivery in less than ten days, enabling converters and brand owners to maintain agility in volatile supply chains and significantly reduce the need for excess inventory.
