  • Publicado el 18 de Junio de 2019

FachPack is one of the most important trade fairs in Europe that deals with the topic of packaging. This is where all the important representatives over the whole process chain meet. So Koehler will be appearing at the fair in Nuremberg this year from September 24 to 26. At stand number 5-341 in hall 5, the company will be exhibiting as a manufacturer of packaging solutions. These include papers for flexible packaging. Koehler will present a variety of exciting products from its portfolio of one side coated and uncoated paper that can be turned into stand-up pouches for cereal products or bags for soup or pudding powder, for example.

In addition, Koehler will also display its wide range of recycled board and fine paper for the highquality packaging sector, which are ideally suited to exclusive products in the cosmetics, perfumery and mobile phone sectors.

Koehler will also be demonstrating the development status of its highly sustainable barrier paper for the first time. In order to support research and development in this field, Koehler set up the Green Coating Collaboration together with TU Darmstadt. These papers are finished with a combination of functional coatings that demonstrate barrier properties against moisture, oxygen, odors and fats. The goal is to replace plastic in packaging with these papers, wherever possible and appropriate. The major advantage is that they can be recycled in the paper cycle, since this cycle has been long established for paper.

The Koehler Paper Group is not only one of the world’s leading manufacturers of special papers; with its new PM 8 paper machine, it is also active in the area of papers for flexible packaging. The goal is to replace non-recyclable plastic with paper and recyclable or compostable composite materials.

At its four locations, Koehler’s 1,800 employees produce more than 500,000 tons of various special papers, while at the same time operating a range of power plants so that, in the medium term, the energy for paper manufacturing can be derived 100 percent from renewable sources. The company has a large research and development department, whose achievements include the development of the first thermal paper approved for contact with food. One of its current challenges is to develop functional surfaces whose barrier properties will enable them to replace plastic in packaging.
