Founded in 1685, Iggesund Paperboard is part of the forest industry group Holmen, which owns more than 1.3 million hectares of forest in Sweden. We care for every tree during its century long journey from seedling to paperboard. This allows us to offer products made of pure virgin fiber. Invercote and Incada are manufactured in two state-of-the-art mills: Iggesunds Bruk in Sweden and Workington in England. Our care for our customers and their businesses goes far beyond offering two of the world's leading paperboard brands. We also provide a broad range of services, support and advice. And we care about the environment, all the way from our forests to the consumers. That's because we believe black figures are best grown from green assets. We call this Care by Iggesund.
