Munksjö: “La Perla” becomes “El Diamante”

In September Munksjö Paper S.A., Tolosa, Spain celebrated its 50th anniversary in decor paper production. Thanks to the investments and improvements done in the recent years, the mill operates at a very high technological level and is one of the most efficient mills in the global decor paper industry.

The mill can operate with a high degree of flexibility and is capable of making long production runs and also small sized orders (below 1 t). Munksjö Paper S.A. offers a full range of colors, including intensive colors with a high content of organic pigments.

“Our policy is based on 3 key principles which are safety, quality and environment”, explains Juan Antonio Navalpotro, Mill Manager. “I have personally witnessed many changes in these 50 years, as I will soon be 44 years in the company. I have seen many specification changes and grammage reductions. As a result of several economic crises during this period of time, some of our customers disappeared and new companies were also born. Color fashion has changed over the time and there has been a big step forward by using environmental friendly dyes and pigments. New technology applied in equipments as well as in measurement and control systems have developed incredibly and have enabled us to produce specific grades which were impossible to imagine 40 years ago.”

Mainly in the last couple of decades, the market is showing a clear increasing trend in market growth. The decor market has become more efficient and new products have been developed in close partnership with Munksjö’s customers. An essential component of Munksjö’s strategy is to explore and service new emerging markets. Today, Tolosa is serving key players in the entire world market.
