Huhtamaki has celebrated the inauguration of its newest fiber packaging line in Invanteevka, Russia. The EUR 7 million investment that was announced in November 2018 included setting up a completely new state-of-the-art egg carton line as well as modernizing one of the unit’s existing egg packaging lines. With the new line, 26 new jobs will be created in Ivanteevka. In addition, as part of Huhtamaki’s continuous efforts to minimize the environmental footprint of its manufacturing operations, improvements were made to the unit’s water management system.

“I would like to thank my colleagues at Fiber Packaging Russia for their hard work and contribution to the successful implementation of this investment. Our growth has been constrained by lack of capacity, but now, thanks to the new line and range extensions, we are again ready to grow with our customers,” says Gala Mansurova, general manager for Fiber Packaging Russia. “I am delighted to have our customers, the representatives of Moscow region government and the Finnish embassy as well as our CEO and president, Charles Héaulmé, join us in this very special day.”
