The project includes automation and digital solutions, with commissioning set for 2027. ANDRITZ sees this as a significant step in expanding its presence in the US pulp and paper industry.

Green Bay Packaging, established in 1933, operates over 40 facilities in 16 states, specializing in various packaging products. The collaboration with ANDRITZ aims to enhance operational safety and availability at the Morrilton mill.

The partnership aims to increase operational safety, availability, and flexibility for the mill’s capacity expansions. The scope of supply includes advanced monitoring systems and automation solutions for the new equipment.

ANDRITZ North America’s senior vice-president, Jarmo Kaila, expressed gratitude for being selected as a partner for the modernization project. This collaboration aligns with ANDRITZ’s mission to provide innovative solutions for the pulp and paper industry. The project is expected to significantly enhance the mill’s operational efficiency and sustainability.
