Together we make it happen What’s more important than our customers? Your customers. Together, let’s make their business better. You know the market and your customers’ needs. We know liners, the future of liners, and most importantly, we are an independent liner producer, which makes us flexible and efficient. We know how the right liners can save time, money and the environment. The majority of liner suppliers on the market today have ready-made solutions that they will insist you need. We don’t share that point of view. Nobody knows your business or your customers like you do. So let’s start there. Our role as an independent and proud producer of our unique product Kraftliner allows us to offer you better guidance and paper knowledge, all the way to the solution you need. After all, your customer is always right. All good relationships start with a face. Working together with SCA Containerboard doesn’t just involve the occasional sales contact. We want to get to know you and your business. Become a part of your team. We are happy when you succeed. That’s why we strive to form long-term partnerships; so that we can better understand your needs and help you develop your customer offer. So, say hello to these good people — our customer representatives, production optimisers, researchers, and engineers. We will build a team tailored to your specific needs to assist you the best way possible regardless of what challenges you face. Your business is our business, and your success is our success. Gaining growth by innovation. On a market where many are idle, we are continuously keeping up with progress, development and investments. As part of this work we have developed a close collaboration with leading universities and educational institutions in Sweden. This is what enables our innovation-based business culture and driven R&D. And as an innovation-based business we listen and explore every possible idea. New materials, new functional properties, supply chain advantages, and sustainability development — it’s all in the hands of our innovation-driven teams. For us, each process is all about your needs, and turning our unique product features and skilled technical implementation into an optimised solution for you. It’s all about speeding up the process from idea to launch, enabling the customer to obtain new market advantages. Products as reliable as you need them to be Most business success stories are not based on delivering the best quality, but the right quality. Don’t get us wrong. Our leading R&D means that we represent the highest quality products on the market. And we love going into the technical specifics of how it is done. But our unique product features and high-quality advantage are only put to good use if they are an actual benefit to our customer’s process and requirements. So, what we do is tailor a scalable solution — including a range of high-performance products — to meet your needs. This in turn will improve your offer for everyone involved. Supply that makes a difference. It is essential to SCA Containerboard to guarantee supply and make sure that you always get the right product in the right place at the right time. Our tailor-made logistical service concept and sophisticated distribution system is your key to reliable supply, thanks to our supply chain professionals, expert logistics and a network of shipment points. This enables us to guarantee supply with reliable deliveries, while at the same time reducing the environmental impact. We are happy to assist in workflow reviews, optimise lead times and identify cost-drivers. Our excellent customer service centre is behind you all the way. Our big advantage is a small miracle. Not only is it unusually strong. It’s flexible and sustainable too. The most valuable asset in our entire production chain is the wood fibre we use. Although only a few millimetres long and a fraction of a millimetre wide, it’s a major player in what we do — and why we do it. Our fresh wood fibre comes from our own sustainably managed forests in northern Sweden. The sustainability profile of these forests, and the proximity between forest and mill, make our premium product range a greener choice than most recycled products. Our unique Kraftliner is produced at state-of-the-art mills, which we continuously improve and develop to ensure we use the most modern technology available. Besides the superior durability of our fibre, when the product has been used the fibre still retains most of its essential properties and can be recycled again and again for a more sustainable, higher-quality product cycle. The Nordic climate is particularly favorable for slowgrowing forests. This produces exceptionally long, strong, and long-life fibres that are perfect for our products and guarantee a consistent high quality. With future generations as our main resource. When your success depends on growing resources — literally — sustainability is not a question of business image. It’s everything. Sustainability has long been embedded in SCA’s way of working. Our ambition is for our sustainability work to be world class, and our goal is to deliver sustainable solutions based on safe, resource-efficient and sound sourcing. SCA is the largest private forest owner in Europe with more than 2.6 million hectares (equivalent to the size of Belgium) in northern Sweden. SCA has also been recognised as one of the world’s most ethical companies for seven consecutive years. We combat climate change and continuously strive to minimise our environmental impact. And we put our money where our mouth is — from new innovations and technologies, to massive carbon sequestering in our forests. For every tree we use, we plant three new ones, securing a sustainable forest that has seen a steady net growth over the last thirty years. Quality commitment is good. Control is better. We set out to deliver the highest-quality products on the market today, exceeding our customers’ expectations and requirements. Our fresh fibre Kraftliners will perform in your product, protect the package content, and remain effective throughout the lifecycle of the package, regardless of application. All products also provide ideal surfaces for high-quality printing. Guaranteed measurements You can always trust product data provided by SCA. By having access to our own forest we are able to always keep our promises. What we offer you is a guaranteed minimum. This gives you good safety margins throughout the production process. Bursting strength, compression strength (SCT), tensile stiffness, moisture variations, surface roughness, brightness, colour and grammage are just some of the properties we monitor carefully. It’s by measuring this wide range of parameters that we are able to guarantee the quality of every reel. The right product for the right job. The Kraftliner Philosophy This is the full range of our unique Kraftliners from SCA Containerboard. All products are based on our high-quality line, SCA Kraftliner, made from a base layer of mainly fresh fibre and a surface layer of the finest unbleached fresh fibre. All Kraftliner product extensions — White Top, Wet Strength, Heavy Duty — are the result of our own R&D. By adding reliable technical properties to our main product, we achieve outstanding performance for a range of specific purposes. The superior properties of SCA Kraftliner gives it a proven track record for most purposes — consumer durables, electronics, hazardous goods, industrial products, fruit and vegetables, and frozen foods, etc. SCA Kraftliner White Top The premium presentation Kraftliner with a white top layer — the best choice for products that need to make an impression. Brilliant performance and high-quality printing properties. SCA Kraftliner Wet Strength For maximum performance in high humidity, wet conditions and extreme cyclical changes. Ideal for long-term storage and other demanding applications. SCA Kraftliner Heavy Duty Higher grammage Kraftliners offer extreme performance, and new ways to maximise packaging efficiency with minimum waste. SCA Kraftliner Our original Kraftliner. The obvious choice for specific and high demanding applications. Strict quality control is our guarantee for excellent strength and maximum protection. SCA Eurokraft Our complement to the SCA Kraftliner product range for less demanding applications. A bottom ply made of recycled fibre and a top ply of purely fresh fibre offer higher performance than recycled liners. SCA Kraftliner White Top SCA Kraftliner Wet Strength SCA Kraftliner SCA Eurokraft SCA Kraftliner Heavy Duty Knowledge is power. To assist our customers in all stages of the production process, we offer specialised performance programmes. These programmes are specially designed to educate and further develop key personnel within certain areas. All courses handle real challenges you might be facing — what is the problem at hand? — and focus on collaboration and coming up with solutions together. SCA Innovation Programme Our greatest R&D assets are the people working here and their high level of competence. We place great focus on finding methods to increase the speed of innovation, and have a number of labs where we develop prototypes and analyse perception. Along with our innovation insight room and state-of-the-art equipment this creates an environment highly conducive to the process of innovation. As our customer you can take part in this through close working collaboration. SCA Training Programme Increase your knowledge of the business and work process, and get a better understanding of paper products. SCA Training Programme is a full-day performance programme that covers each step of the production process — Wood to Paper, Paper to Board, Board to Boxes. It also offers useful materials knowledge on Packaging Paper, Fluting, Corrugated Board, and Corrugated Box. And last but not least, Product Safety. SCA Supply Programme Experience the benefits of our tailor-made logistical service concept that includes all the components in the supply chain. Together we work to identify and minimise the cost drivers in your value chain. You will have the chance to enjoy full inventory control, more efficient delivery, reduced administration, and supply security. The SCA Supply Programme offers you a complete overview of the entire process — from order to final doorstep delivery. SCA Optimisation Programme To help you get the full use of your corrugator and optimise the choice of liners, we have developed the Corrugated Performance Programme. During a 2–3 day audit, we analyse the complete corrugation process. We then recommend improvements on runnability, efficiency, quality and the overall performance of your corrugator. Note that many of the improvements we propose are already introduced and brought into practice during the audit. The results and recommendations of the full audit are presented in a detailed report that include recommendations on personnel, equipment, corrugator performance, waste reduction, and more.
