he Alfeld Mill is located to the south of Hanover (Germany) and its origins date back to 1706. It produces speciality paper products which are mainly coated and have a variety of finishes. With an integrated pulp plant using locally harvested wood it produces totally chlorine-free (TCF) bleached chemical pulp for own use. All paper machines produce one-side coated SBS board (PM1) or speciality papers (PM2, 3, 4 and 5). Two off-line coaters and numerous reel and sheet cutters form part of the extensive production installations. With five papermaking machines, the mill has a manufacturing flexibility which allows it to match customer?s needs. Our speciality papers are produced on machines with a Yankee cylinder (one-side glazed) a MG cylinder (PM2) and in-line one-side coated (PM3 and 4). Extensive local warehousing allow rapid delivery to paper merchants. In Germany, a 24-hour service is operated.
