Pyroll and Stora Enso have agreed on the transfer of the ownership of the sheeting service business in Baienfurt, Germany
Pyroll Converting Oy’s recently established subsidiary Pyroll Germany GmbH has made an agreement with Stora Enso Baienfurt GmbH, where Pyroll takes over the sheeting service business in Baienfurt, Germany. The transaction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2018.
The sheeting service centre in Baienfurt is located in Southern Germany. The location in Baienfurt will expand the coverage of Pyroll Converting’s service network for the future. Since 2015 this has been the second noteworthy investment for Pyroll Converting, and is therefore a natural step in a growth strategy for Pyroll Converting. Availability of the service in Baienfurt opens up exceptional access to several important market areas for Pyroll Converting’s customers.
The future development of the sheeting service centre in Baienfurt is one of the key issues in meeting ever tightening requirements. This business transfer has a positive influence on the future development of the sheeting service centre in Baienfurt – and also on the whole Pyroll Converting business.
“We are very happy to add the Baienfurt sheeting service centre to the group which already contains four service centres. Availability of the service in the right locations plays an important role when reaction times are getting shorter. Therefore, expanding our service network will open new possibilities for all of our customers. Our previous investment in Winschoten in the Netherlands shows especially that service sheeting for paper and paperboard producers in their main market area has increased, and therefore we were encouraged to take this step as well”, says Mr Reino Uusitalo, the owner and chairman of the board of the Pyroll Group.

Scanstar award to Pyroll and F-Secure
The winners of the Scanstar 2011 packaging competition were announced on November 3rd in Sandefjord, Norway. The digital carton plant SOLVER palvelut Oy, part of the Finnish company Pyroll, was awarded a Scanstar for its packaging solution for F-Secure Corporation, a global IT security and antivirus provider.
The package in question is a digitally printed carton for IT software. Each package is an individual. The package contains an integrated license card and in the logistic process, the cartons are identified individually by 2D codes printed on the package surface. The carton offers a completely new packaging solution, it is eco-friendly and easy to use. As F-Secure’s products are delivered all over the world, the cartons are printed in numerous language versions and also in trade channel editions. Assembly is fast and easy, and no extra stickers are needed. Delivery volumes are adjusted to demand, and there are no stocks. The cartons are fully recyclable.
According to the Scanstar jury, this package “solves in an ingenious way the wrapping of a security product which was previously covered in plastic. The solution is as smart as it is simple, protects effectively and is easy to open. The amount of materials and energy used in the process is also lower than in the past.”
The awarded package was launched this autumn. It forms a good basis for further product development and future applications.
The Scanstar competition is arranged by the Scandinavian Packaging Association. This year the Norwegian association Den Norske Emballasjeforening was responsible for the arrangements. For Nordic manufacturers, Scanstar is the only way to participate in the global WorldStar packaging competition. In recent years, Pyroll has received three WorldStar awards.
