Improved availability of Iggesund’s premium paperboards

“We’re happy that in the past few months we’ve been able to start working with Antalis and Elliot Baxter & Co as our main partners in the UK wholesale market,” says Rikard Papp, director of Iggesund’s sales to merchants. “Via these two distributors, Invercote G, Invercote Creato (1s and 2s SBB grades), Incada Exel and Incada Silk (1s and 2s FBB grades) are now available for purchase throughout the UK.”

Iggesund has a specialised range for digital print and that will continue to be stocked by Antalis in the UK.

Iggesund Paperboard is a Swedish paperboard manufacturer with operations in both Sweden and the UK. In Sweden, the company produces the solid bleached board (SBB) Invercote and at its mill in Cumbria it makes Incada, a folding box board (FBB) - both with superior environmental properties. Iggesund Paperboard has become known for its aggressive strategy to reduce its fossil carbon emissions, which has made it a leader in the battle against climate change. In recent years the forest industry group Holmen, to which Iggesund Paperboard belongs, has been included on the UN Global Compact Index of the world’s most sustainable companies. Holmen also participates in the Carbon Disclosure Project and is one of the nearly 200 global companies regarded as being leaders in combating climate change.

Iggesund

Iggesund Paperboard is part of the Swedish forest industry group Holmen, one of the world’s 100 most sustainable companies listed on the United Nations Global Compact Index. Iggesund’s turnover is just over €500 million and its flagship product Invercote is sold in more than 100 countries. The company has two brand families, Invercote and Incada, both positioned at the high end of their respective segments. Since 2010 Iggesund has invested more than €380 million to increase its energy efficiency and reduce the fossil emissions from its production.

Iggesund and the Holmen Group report all their fossil carbon emissions to the Carbon Disclosure Project. The environmental data form an integral part of an annual report that complies with the Global Reporting Initiative’s highest level of sustainability reporting. Iggesund was founded as an iron mill in 1685, but has been making paperboard for more than 50 years. The two mills, in northern Sweden and northern England employ 1500 people.
