BillerudKorsnäs has announced the opening of a regional facility in the Chicago area. Combined with current offices in Portland, OR and Miami, FL, the Swedish company says the new location represents “a significant expansion of customer service, support and supply capabilities in the North American market.” It also reflects the current strategy of BillerudKorsnäs to grow its business in the U.S. and Canada. BillerudKorsnäs provides paper, fluting, liners, paperboard materials and advanced technologies to brand owners and converters.
Peter Malmqvist, marketing director for the Americas, recently relocated to the U.S. and will be managing marketing efforts from the Chicago office. He previously served as the corporate marketing director in Sweden.
”Opening a new facility in Chicago reflects the long-term strategy of BillerudKorsnäs to grow market share in North America by helping brand owners implement sustainable and innovative packaging solutions and to realize supply chain efficiencies. It also enhances our ability to supply high-quality products to our customers. Additionally, we are bringing new talent with years of experience in the paper and converting industries who will be dedicated to meeting and exceeding customer needs,” said Malmqvist.
