Dan Brown, group board manager for Vision Paper and Board, said: ‘We are delighted that MM Karton have chosen us as its exclusive UK merchant distributor for SilvaFreeze. Our extensive range of standard sizes is available now for immediate despatch and, from our stock of cutter reels, we can also offer our unique ‘Your Size’ bespoke sheeting service, with express deliveries on special sizes direct from our factory in the West Midlands.’

MM Karton operates nine board machines in Europe and has an annual capacity of more than 1.7 million tonnes. SilvaFreeze is produced in the Netherlands in a range from 215 to 400 g/m2 and is FSC certified.

Graham Wallder, UK Sales Manager for MM Karton, commented on the new distributor: ‘We are very pleased to be strengthening our partnership with Vision Paper and Board; with their extensive sheeting and storage facility, they offer the perfect fit for SilvaFreeze in the UK. We look forward to working more closely with them to develop this exciting market sector.’

SilvaFreeze is a high quality GC2 folding box board produced from 100% virgin cellulose fibres with high stiffness and bulk for fast and economical printed results.

The range is suitable for pharmaceutical and hygiene, food and general packaging products. Stocks and trial sheets are available now for immediate delivery from Vision Paper and Board.
