ANDRITZ has successfully completed a major grade conversion project at HEINZEL GROUP’s Steyrermühl mill in Austria.


With a capacity of up to 150,000 t/a, the revamped machine is producing high-quality brown and white kraft papers under the renowned Starkraft brand. This upgrade not only enhances production capacity to 350,000 tons per year but also marks a significant step towards sustainable packaging solutions.

At ANDRITZ, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative technologies that make a difference. Our cutting-edge headbox and gapformer concept, coupled with the energy-efficient shoe press and softnip calender technology, ensure premium surface quality with notable energy savings. This project is a testament to our expertise in handling complex paper and board machine conversions.
Let’s continue to push the limits of what’s possible in sustainable paper production!
