are advantages in cost efficient logistics and sustainable transport. In fact, St Petersburg is no farther from the mill than Helsinki. “Customers appreciate our


flexible service and delivery options (FCA), which lets them pick up products directly from the mill,” says Nordman. “We see and treat Russia as our home market, and we feel mentally connected to the Russian people.” With this cross-border


cooperation and strategically important customers, Pankaboard has increased its focus on Russia. Since 2012 Pankaboard has been working with sales representative BOCO in Russia, with offices in Moscow and St Petersburg.


Sustainability and product safety With all of its cartonboards produced made from virgin fibre, Pankaboard is accredited by PEFC


and FSC, and the raw material comes from local, well-managed forests. “Our product range has a low


carbon footprint thanks to the use of local forests, efficient material utilization (ground wood pulp) and steam generated by our integrated biofuel boiler,” says mill manager Petri Saastamoinen. “Product safety is a high priority, which means superior microbiological and chemical purity,” he continues. “Naturally, the entire Pankaboard product range is certified for direct contact with food.” More information from Christer
