Norske Skog Golbey will commence production of recycled containerboard in April
and start delivery of its first customer volumes. Finalising the
pre-commissioning at the containerboard machine is the main outstanding item
before the project is completed and production can start. There is no change in
the budget for the project.
"We are pleased to announce that we are nearing completion of the world-class
containerboard machine at Golbey, which will be a significant milestone for
Norske Skog and for everyone working at the Golbey mill. Although the final work
has taken slightly longer than expected, we look forward to start deliveries of
containerboard to our customers shortly," says Geir Drangsland, CEO of Norske
Skog.
