Leipa to complete startup period for white-top testliner PM 5 at its Schwedt mill in Germany

LEIPA will soon complete the startup period of its PM 5 for uncoated white top testliner production at its mill in Schwedt, Germany.

LEIPA Group CEO Peter Probst: “The demand for white top liner remains consistently high and the trend is rising. Prices are at a high level as well. These factors result in excellent conditions for the market launch of the PM 5.”

LEIPA will have developed a one-stop shop with the PM 3 and PM 5, offering an annual total capacity of 700,000 tons of coated and uncoated white top testliner.

Christian Schürmann, COO of LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH said: “The entire project team has done a great job rebuilding the PM 5. We will produce a state-of-the-art testliner on this machine – the world’s most powerful of its kind – and start with our first deliveries in April.”
