Maastricht Mill
Maastricht Mill is a paper producer that deploys a high-quality production process and continues innovation to create a leading product in terms of quality. In this, sustainability and respect for people and the environment are paramount. We use certified, renewable raw materials and our products are completely recyclable.
Maastricht Mill, situated on the river Meuse, boasts the PM6 one of the world’s biggest machines for poly-coated board. On that machine we produce graphic board and folding box board (FBB) for both the graphic and the packaging industry. Our graphic products stand out because of their excellent surface and printability. We supply a range of products, varying from matt to glossy. Our folding box boards are distinguished by their very high bulk in combination with a silky surface with high gloss and brightness.
Mill information
Maastricht Mill produces graphic board and packaging board varying in grammage from 200 to 400g/m2. We supply this paper to the market in rolls of various diameters and as sheets in a variety of formats. Our papers can be supplied coated on one side or on both sides.
The Mill’s capacity is 280,000 tonnes per year of coated woodfree paper. The papers from Maastricht Mill meet the highest standards of quality, and contribute to an efficient printing process. Our graphic papers are highly suitable for magazines, brochures and catalogues. Our folding box board is particularly suitable for the manufacture of high-quality packaging for which printability and processability are important.
