Kadant Inc., Westford, Mass., USA, reports that it has received an order totaling approximately $7 million from a paper producer in Southern Europe for recycled fiber processing equipment to be used in the production of packaging.
"We are pleased to have been selected to provide this turn-key recycled fiber processing line for a major rebuild project in Southern Europe," said Jonathan W. Painter, president and CEO of Kadant. "This rebuild is significant in that it is part of a broader trend of converting a machine’s production from printing and writing grades to containerboard used for packaging. As these types of conversions make increasingly more economic sense to the paper industry, Kadant is well positioned to leverage its expertise and broad product offerings used in containerboard production."
