Pyroll Converting Oy’s recently established subsidiary Pyroll Germany GmbH has made an agreement with Stora Enso Baienfurt GmbH, where Pyroll takes over the sheeting service business in Baienfurt, Germany. The transaction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2018.

2017 11 22 164508The sheeting service centre in Baienfurt is located in Southern Germany. The location in Baienfurt will expand the coverage of Pyroll Converting’s service network for the future. Since 2015 this has been the second noteworthy investment for Pyroll Converting, and is therefore a natural step in a growth strategy for Pyroll Converting. Availability of the service in Baienfurt opens up exceptional access to several important market areas for Pyroll Converting’s customers.

The future development of the sheeting service centre in Baienfurt is one of the key issues in meeting ever tightening requirements. This business transfer has a positive influence on the future development of the sheeting service centre in Baienfurt – and also on the whole Pyroll Converting business.

“We are very happy to add the Baienfurt sheeting service centre to the group which already contains four service centres. Availability of the service in the right locations plays an important role when reaction times are getting shorter. Therefore, expanding our service network will open new possibilities for all of our customers. Our previous investment in Winschoten in the Netherlands shows especially that service sheeting for paper and paperboard producers in their main market area has increased, and therefore we were encouraged to take this step as well”, says Mr Reino Uusitalo, the owner and chairman of the board of the Pyroll Group.
