To meet the increasing demand for parchment paper in baking applications, Papeteries des Vosges et du Leman group comprised of PDV, PDL and PVL Holdings, a global leader in baking paper production, has unveiled plans to double the capacity of Primabake to approximately 65,000 metric tons per year by the end of 2027.
Primabake is a premium, eco-friendly, and PFAS [1]-free baking paper used by a growing number of brand owners and private label manufacturers worldwide. This capacity expansion will be achieved by increasing the production capacity of Primabake on the PM6 [2] machine in Publier (Evian, French Alps), and through enhanced collaboration with Papeterie des Vosges (PDV). PDV, located in Laval-sur-Vologne (Vosges Mountain, France), specializes in light specialty papers and is the sister company of PDL. Both paper companies are part of PVL Holdings.
“The qualification of Primabake manufactured at PDV, among select customers, was successfully completed earlier this year,” stated Hervé Brunet-Jailly, product manager for Primabake. “Primabake is renowned for its performance and unique sustainable attributes. To better serve our customers and ensure a reliable supply, producing identical paper at both locations was essential.”
Grégoire Chavanne, general director of PDV, added: “having achieved this significant milestone, we will invest in various assets on the PM8 in Laval-sur-Vologne to ensure smooth production of Primabake, while PDV continues to produce its range of premium thin print and specialty papers.”
Stéphane Barbereau, general director of PDL, commented: “this expansion is a testament to our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers while maintaining our dedication to sustainability and quality. By doubling the capacity of Primabake, the Papeteries des Vosges et du Leman group is positioning itself to better serve the growing market and ensure a reliable supply of our premium baking paper.”
The Papeteries des Vosges et du Leman group is committed to upholding the highest standards of environmental responsibility, innovation and equality, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for the industry. Avere remains the exclusive worldwide sales agent for the Primabake range.
