Metsä Board, a leading European producer of premium fresh fibre paperboards, is launching MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go - a new folding boxboard designed for demanding food and pharmaceutical packaging - together with a fast and predictable custom-cut sheet delivery solution for the European market.

In the day to day operations of brand owners and converters, production continuity, shifting demand and high-performance requirements are constant factors. MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go combines a high-quality, multipurpose folding boxboard with dependable sheet availability, helping customers respond faster, keep inventories lean and operate with confidence in demanding packaging applications. 

"Our customers operate in environments where demand can shift quickly. With MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go and our new service concept, we are making production smoother, planning more predictable and supply chains more resilient - creating a real competitive advantage for our customers in Europe," says Maarten Florizoone, VP Sales Europe at Metsä Board.

Developed for fast-moving brand environments, MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go is engineered to deliver consistent quality and reliable performance while supporting compliance needs in regulated food and pharmaceutical segments. The grade is OBA-free and features hard sizing, supporting dependable performance in frozen applications. It also provides opportunities to reduce packaging carbon footprint through lightweighting and a high share of fossil-free energy in Husum mill's production.

The grade is produced at Metsä Board's Husum mill in Sweden and sheeted at the company's Sheeting & Distribution Hub in the Netherlands. This enables custom cut sheet formats with short and predictable lead times for customers.

Metsä Board's new FastTrack Service provides folding boxboard sheets less than three weeks in Europe. For time critical needs, the ExpressTrack Service offers delivery in less than ten days, helping converters and brand owners maintain agility in volatile supply chains and reduce the need for excess inventory.
