SOLUTIONS FOR THE PAPER AND BOARD INDUSTRY
The impact of energy price rises is placing unprecedented pressure on the bottom line of UK paper and board manufacturers.

Major manufacturers including Smurfit trust Dalkia to provide them with proven solutions to mitigate the financial strain whilst maintaining productivity and ensuring environmental compliance.
