In Gohrsmühle a new product strategy has been implemented. At the same time all existing speciality papers will be further developed and new innovative paper products are in the pipeline.

Despite unfavourable general market situation ZANTO has been launched in a very short time and customer feedback is very positive. ZANTO is available in folio sheets and reels from 60-300 gsm. In the second step, new products for M-real's office papers business will be produced in Gohrsmühle. The Modo Papers range of business reels has an unrivalled reputation for quality and reliability, which is further enhanced by the prestigious OCE accreditation being obtained for its Modo Laser product line. Production of Modo Laser at Gohrsmühle means that heavier paper weights - up to and including 170 gsm are now added to the range, offering customers even more flexibility and choice. In addition, Gohrsmühle's flexibility and expertise has allowed production of the premium recycled Evolve Business paper product line to be extended. Evolve Business is now available in heavier paper weights - up to and including 160 gsm in reels, large format sheets or cut size. These steps one and two are in full implementation.

Further to our new development strategy we continue to evaluate and develop our existing ranges to meet market demands, two key areas of development currently are: CHROMOLUX, the market leader in cast coated, is now after the successful relaunch of the graphical and wet glue label assortment, also available as a face stock paper for self-adhesive labels.
