The deal comes after Mondi purchased a 90.38% stake in Turkish corrugated packaging company Olmuksan International Paper Ambalaj Sanayi ve Ticaret (Olmuksan) from International Paper in June last year.
Olmuksan supplies sustainable packaging products for various sectors, including food, beverage, agriculture and industrial markets.
The company had an annual converting capacity of 300,000t at the time of the transaction.
Founded in 1967, Mondi supplies packaging and paper products for clients in more than 30 countries.
In August this year, the company opened its first in-house recycling laboratory at its mill in Frantschach, Austria.
The lab is designed to test the recyclability of paper and paper-based packaging that features non-paper components such as coatings.
