Value chain
The perfect coffee filter, a soft tissue and a package that keeps the food fresh
has one thing in common - the production begins in the woods.
Our value chain begins in the forest and wood is our most important raw material and input. In order to minimize transport and environmental impact, the ambition is always to purchase as much of the wood as possible from the neighboring areas.
Rottneros manufactures two main types of pulp - mechanical and chemical pulp - which are the basis of the Group's broad product portfolio. The pulp types are tailored to the customer's wishes and end use areas to provide you with a high-quality end product.
History
Rottneros dates back to the 1630's when an iron hammer mill was started.
At the end of the 1800's, the mill was adapted into a wood-pulp mill and today, Rottneros AB is a listed company with two pulp mills.
We have 400 years of experience in development and over 135 years of experience in pulp.
