Mondi, a sustainable packaging and paper company, has collaborated with Hans Schmid, a European kraft impregnator, to supply Mondi’s Ad/Vantage Boost saturated kraft paper for use in the furniture and flooring industry.
The collaboration aims to meet the demands of the European market by providing impregnated paper that is reportedly integral for the manufacturing of laminated products.
Hans Schmid utilises Mondi’s aforementioned Ad/Vantage Boost solution to produce high-quality laminates for flooring, kitchen worktops, and more.
Hans Schmid commercial director Björn Lüftner said: “Our collaboration with Mondi is built on trust and transparency. We highly appreciate the team’s expertise and are working together to expand into new markets and continuously improve our products. For us, Mondi is not just a supplier but a long-term strategic partner for the decades ahead.”
Ad/Vantage Boost is claimed to be designed for superior strength and absorbency. It acts as a carrier for resin in the production of laminate layers, which are then pressed under heat.
The paper is produced from unbleached fresh long fibres in Sweden and Austria and comes with the option of Forest Stewardship Council or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification certification.
Ad/Vantage Boost is strategically produced to ensure consistent availability across Europe. The Frantschach and Dynäs mills of Austria and Sweden, respectively, are positioned to provide short lead times, offering customers reassurance of excellent service and a reliable production backup when necessary.
Mondi Ad/Vantage Boost international sales manager Alexander Baars said: “High-end base saturating kraft papers are essential for the European laminates market, where efficiency, reliability and quality are top priorities for manufacturers.
“Our longstanding collaboration with Hans Schmid combined with our capacity to produce this essential absorbent kraft paper in suitable quantities, enables us to reliably supply both existing and new customers.”
Last month, Modi introduced a new sustainable paint packaging solution called re/cycle SpoutedPouch.
