ICN leads local contractors to supply Tumut Kraftliner Mill

Australian contractors – many of them small businesses – are playing a major part in a substantial expansion of Visy Pulp and Paper’s kraftliner mill in southern New South Wales. The expansion will duplicate the existing Tumut facility and more than double the current production of 300,000 tonnes of kraftliner a year.

Kraftliner is used for cardboard boxes, and the expansion will mean Visy no longer needs to import it from overseas. Wood makes up 80 per cent of kraftliner (the remaining 20 per cent consists of waste paper) and this wood is needed during general paper recycling to maintain paper strength.
