In addition, the company said it is doing all it can to maintain tight cost control, but with
coreboard a dominant part of our cost, it is unable to offset such movement, added Kemmerling.
Cores and
coreboard are manufactured from recycled paper and are used for applications in paper, packaging, textiles, steel, aluminium and many other industries.
Ahlstrom Corporation has struck a deal with packaging company Sonoco to form a joint venture that combines the companies' European-based core, tube and
coreboard operations.
Cores are tubes made out of
coreboard, which is based on recycled paper.
New features include a pretrimmed, sound-reducing backing, water-resistant
coreboard, glueless interlocking installation and an embossed surface texture.
The core is made from a moisture-resistant
coreboard that is treated with resins to resist swelling.
1 December 2014 - Finnish paper and packaging firm Powerflute Oyj (LSE: POWR) said it has closed its acquisition of Finnish cores and
coreboard producer Corenso for around EUR 102.3m in cash.
19 February 2010 - Finnish paper maker Stora Enso Oyj (HEL: STERV) said today that it will centralise the use of recovered fibre-based packaging to its Pori
coreboard mill and that it plans to cut newsprint production at the Varkaus paper machine.

COREBOARDSonoco, Hartsville, South Carolina, USA, and Ahlstrom Corp., Helsinki, Finland, have signed a definitive agreement to combine their respective European paper-based tube/core and
coreboard operations into a joint venture that will operate under the name Sonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l.
The recycling of paper and board packaging can now increase in Finland with the fibre extracted from cartons and other paper and board packaging being used to make
coreboard. Wood fibre is used for cores, plastic is converted into energy and aluminium is made into aluminium powder for industrial use.
The product also incorporates HydraCore, an enhanced moisture-resistant
coreboard that Bruce says is specially treated with resins to be resistant to swelling, Bruce also introduced SoundGuard, a sound dampening layer that is directly attached to the underside of some of its Traffic Zone planks.
