Metsä Board’s solutions are widely used in consumer goods packaging, pharmaceutical and cosmetics boxes, as well as in takeaway and food packaging applications.
Formed as an independent listed entity within the Metsä Group in 2013, Metsä Board traces its roots to the long‐standing forestry and paper industry in Finland. Headquartered in Espoo, the company leverages over a century of experience in forest‐based production, combining traditional know-how with modern process technologies. The organisational structure supports close collaboration between research, product development and mill operations, driving continuous innovation in paperboard performance and environmental footprint.
Manufacturing operations are located in Finland and Sweden, with mills at sites such as Kaskinen, Simpele, Äänekoski and Husum. These facilities are integrated with pulp production and employ closed‐loop water treatment systems, reflecting the company’s commitment to resource efficiency. Metsä Board’s distribution network extends across Europe, North America and Asia, supplying both large packaging converters and specialty printers with tailor-made board grades.
Under the leadership of CEO Mika Joukio, Metsä Board has emphasised sustainable forestry, circular economy principles and low‐carbon production. The company sources wood from sustainably managed northern European forests, with certification under PEFC and FSC frameworks. Ongoing investments in energy efficiency and material innovation aim to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and to support customers in meeting their own sustainability targets.
