Growth Projects

Progroup continues its growth strategy with the start of construction of the PW14 corrugated sheet feeder plant in Poland. The company's twelfth production facility for corrugated sheetboards is now being built on the site of the existing PW07 plant in Stryków, making it the third plant in Poland. On an area of around 27,900 square metres, Progroup is once again setting trends in the industry in terms of productivity and sustainability. The company is investing around 72 million euros in a production facility that is geared towards sustainability; among other things, a combined heat, power and cooling plant (CHP) will be used to generate energy. The new plant will produce up to 200,000 tonnes of corrugated sheetboards annually from the fourth quarter of 2022. Thus, Stryków will become one of the largest corrugated board production sites in the world with a production capacity of 825 million square metres per year.

In Sandersdorf-Brehna (Saxony-Anhalt) one of the world’s most modern paper machines for manufacturing containerboard, the starting material for producing environmentally friendly corrugated board packaging, was built in 2020. The ground-breaking ceremony took place back in August 2018. After the initial start-up phase, Progroup’s third paper factory will produce an annual capacity of 750,000 tonnes of containerboard with a working width of 9.20 metres.

In Eisfeld/Thuringia the eleventh corrugated sheetboard plant in total was constructed. This new state-of-the-art production site with an annual capacity of 190,000 tonnes of corrugated sheetboard will increase Progroup’s total capacity to 1.55 million tonnes. The total level of investment for the project is approx. 60 million euros. Operating in four shifts, the plant will create a total of 52 new jobs and three apprenticeships.
