Skärblacka AB, founded in 1870, started pulp production in 1872 and paper production in 1874. At Ljusfors mill, there was a paper machine 1895 and a pulp mill was built in 1898. 1917-18, the two mills were sold to Fiskeby Fabriks AB, which in turn sold to KF (Co-operative Union) in 1942. In 1953, the two mills merged and formed Skärblacka mill. Today's modern mill, which was designed at the end of the 1950s when a brand new sulphate factory and two new paper machines were built, was officially inagurated by HKH Gustaf VI Adolf on December 4, 1962. In 1985, Skärblacka was sold to Holmen mill, which in turn was acquired by MoDo in 1988. In 1994, the mill was acquired by AssiDomän and in 2001 by the owner constellation Billerud AB where also the Karlsborg and Gruvön mill was included. In November 2012 Billerud and Korsnäs merged and formed BillerudKorsnäs. Career BillerudKorsnäs challenges conventional packaging for a sustainable future. Are you interested in working with us?
