GSPP PM3 - sustainable containerboard production in Malaysia
Jul 31, 2023
In 2021, GS Paperboard & Packaging (GSPP) started up their PM 3 board machine at their Selangor site in Malaysia. It produces testliner grades from 100 percent recycled raw material and is equipped with the most modern Valmet-supplied papermaking technology.
The most beneficial feature of PM 3 is its energy and raw material efficiency, because we produce lightweight products, and its machine safety, which greatly contributes to our operators’ daily work. We also achieve high end-product quality from PM 3."
The start-up of the most modern board machine in Malaysia was smooth, and GSPP is very satisfied with the project. The machine was commissioned successfully, with paper on the reel on September 13, 2021. It’s quite a remarkable result to be able to start up the machine in a single day. Very shortly after that, GSPP was able to produce sellable paper.
