Reflex invests in PM4 in Düren
Reflex announced that it has restarted paper machine 4 at its paper mill in Düren, Germany.
The translucent paper is primarily produced with white, but customers can also choose from a variety of colors, the company said.
Translucent paper was primarily required in the drawing sector, but is now used for several applications in the graphic design sector. Examples include brochures, mailings, calendars, printed matter, envelopes, and above all an increasing amount in innovative packaging.
- In light of the current developments in the paper industry, a restart of a paper machine seems unusual. The owners of Reflex have nevertheless provided a seven-figure sum for necessary investments until 2017. We are therefore in the position to not only strengthen our return to the translucent paper market, but at the same time increase our capacity, Reflex's CEO Hariolf Koeder, said.
The PM4 is the oldest of the three paper machines at the factory. Using a special technical machine design, Reflex is able to generate very high quality transparent papers.
