Holmen Iggesund - purposeful by nature

We are Holmen Iggesund

We make two of the world's leading paperboard brands, Invercote and Incada. They are preferred by some of the most demanding brand owners on earth for their durability and design versatility.

Our heritage

Founded in 1685, Holmen Iggesund has been striving for quality and innovation from day one. In 1963 we began manufacturing paperboard for packaging under the brand name Invercote. It was a strategic choice to either play it safe and manufacture tissue paper, or start up paperboard for packaging at a time when there was no regional market for it and little local know-how about the technology used. Boldness and innovation are at the core of the company culture. 

Holmen Iggesund is a company steeped in sustainability and, as part of the forest industry group Holmen, we own more than 1.3 million hectares of forest in Sweden. We care for every tree during its century long journey from seedling to paperboard. This allows us to offer products made of pure virgin fiber. Invercote and Incada are manufactured in two state-of-the-art mills: Iggesund Mill in Sweden and Workington Mill in United Kingdom.

We care

Our care for our customers and their businesses goes far beyond this product offering. We also provide a broad range of services, support and advice. And we care about the environment, all the way from our forests to the consumers. That’s because we believe black figures are best grown from green assets. 

Part of Holmen group

Holmen Iggesund is part of the forest industry group Holmen, which owns more than 1.3 million hectares of forest in Sweden. This allows us to take care and think quality from seed to paperboard. Our foundation is sustainably managed forest, and we make our products in state-of-the-art, bio-powered mills.

A business partner for the long term

We are in it for the long run, basing our success on sustainably managed forest and well-invested, bio-powered mills. With consistent profitability levels and a sound financial base, we are a supplier to be trusted for the long term. We strive to not only deliver outstanding products, but to deliver an overall offering that benefits our customers' bottom lines.

Strategy

Our paperboard business will grow based on our position as a market leader in the premium segment for consumer packaging. High quality and custom solutions are combined with large-scale production.

Organic growth

Our position as a market leader in Europe, when it comes to high-performance paperboard for consumer packaging and graphical products, is to be reinforced through ongoing product development.

Outside of Europe, Iggesund is pursuing opportunities for global growth in niche markets. We believe that the basis for organic growth lies in product development, well-invested production facilities, self-sufficiency in energy and competitive production costs.
