- Norske Skog ASA Norske Skog ASA produces publication paper, packaging paper, energy, and bio products from mills in Europe and Australasia; publication paper includes newsprint, magazine paper, and directory paper under the NOR brand, while packaging paper comprises recycled containerboard grades such as test liner and fluting under the STRATO brand, and bio products feature nanocellulose like CEBINA and bio-composites like CEBICO. The company operates four mills in Europe, including sites in Norway, Austria, and France, plus one in Australasia, with total paper production capacity of approximately 2 million tonnes and around 2,100 employees across four countries. Founded in 1962 and headquartered at Sjølyst plass 2 in Oslo, Norway, Norske Skog ASA serves customers primarily in European markets with sustainable, low-cost paper solutions based on certified fibers and renewable energy. Recent developments include the EUR 400 million conversion of the Golbey mill in France to recycled containerboard production, adding 550,000 tonnes of capacity and marking the largest investment in company history, bringing total containerboard output to 760,000 tonnes following the earlier Bruck mill project; the planned Q2 2026 launch of NOR Book paper at the Skogn mill with over 140,000 tonnes capacity via a NOK 40 million investment for production flexibility; transition to thermomechanical pulp at Skogn by May 2024 to cut emissions; and the divestiture of Norske Skog Boyer in Australasia to Boyer Capital Pty Ltd, expected to close in Q1 2025.
