An extended co-operation between International Paper and UK-based Warren Board Sales will see the latter company stock and distribute various cartonboard products from International Paper's European and US manufacturing facilities. Brands included are Everest (SBS), Carolina (SBS), Arktika (GC1) and Alaska (GC2), with future developments of speciality boards likely.
Having worked extensively with the Everest brand in the past, this new arrangement will see Warren Board stock and distribute Carolina C1S and C2S - one and two-sided coated solid bleached sulphate boards produced by International Paper in the US.
Warren Board will also distribute the high quality folding boxboard products of Arktika and Alaska, produced at International Paper's Polish mill in Kwidzyn with focus on the pharmaceutical, confectionery and cosmetics markets.
Michael Krüger, International Paper's commercial director for coated paperboard & recycled specialities, states: "We have been working with Warren Board for approximately 15 years, and the strengthening of this partnership will help International Paper develop its coated board presence in the UK and Irish graphical and converting sectors."
