Brigl & Bergmeister invests in new film press for PM5 at Papirnica Vevce speciality paper mill in Ljubljana, Slovenia
19/10/2012
NIKLASDORF, Austria, Oct. 17, 2012 (Press Release) - Brigl & Bergmeister is investing in a new Andritz film press for its site in Veve, Slovenia.
On 11 October 2012 Brigl & Bergmeister commissioned Austrian company Andritz to build a film press for the PM5 at Papirnica Vevce (near Ljubljana).
Brigl & Bergmeister - oneof the world's leading producers of special papers for labels and flexible packaging - will thus increase annual capacity at the Veve site by 20,000 tonnes, to 110,000 tonnes p.a. Moreover, by increasing and improving the initial coat in the paper machine, it will be possible to enhance product quality even further and offer new, innovative solutions for the packaging industry.
This is Brigl & Bergmeister's second major investment since it was acquired by paper trading group Roxcel last year. The first major investment was its acquisition of the ENAGES thermal energy recovery plant, which supplies power to Brigl&Bergmeister's site in Niklasdorf, Austria.

Lenzing begins C4G scheme to recycle siliconised self-adhesive liner material
14/11/2011
LENZING PAPIER GmbH in Austria invests in recycling capacity of release liner waste.
Investment at Lenzing Papier improves process capabilities and allows use of larger volumes of silicone coated waste papers in production of recycled speciality papers.
This material has traditionally been difficult to remove in an ethical way as it was only generally useful for thermal recyling (burning) or sending to landfill.
This system allows Lenzing to collect used liner material from self-adhesive processing companies and to recycle it into very high quality paper for graphical and siliconising applications.
