Following its setup in the Guangxi region in China, Stora Enso invested €31m for the development of the PE coating plant.
The new facility has been built by the company in order to meet the growing demand for PE coating in the market.
The plant has a capability to manufacture a total of 80,000t of PE-coated products each year.
PE-coated board is primarily used for products such as paper cups and food service packaging, which require protection against moisture.
