Lead the Pack

Lead the Pack is Metsä Board’s strategy for becoming the leading partner in consumer brand packaging solutions.

Our ambition goes beyond supplying materials: we support our customers’ success with packaging solutions grounded in a deep understanding of their business.

Vision and purpose

Our vision is to be the leading partner in consumer brand packaging solutions.

Our purpose — Packaging a positive future — guides every solution we develop. Because when packaging performs better, protects better and communicates better, it creates value across the entire value chain – from our customers all the way to the consumer.

 

Strategy execution

The execution of our strategy progresses in two phases.

In the first phase, we focus on a profitability turnaround. Our objective is to build a strong foundation for future growth by securing stable financial performance and sustainable cash flow.

In the second phase, our focus shifts to growth through brand-strengthening consumer packaging solutions that deliver measurable added value to our customers. These solutions combine material efficiency, recyclability, compliance with regulatory requirements and the product’s commercial appeal.

We implement the Lead the Pack strategy through four strategic pillars: Safe, Shift, Scale and Streamline

Safe

Ensuring safety, consistent quality and a leading approach to sustainability as the foundation of our operations.

Shift

Strengthening capabilities and renewing ways of working, leadership and decision making to act with courage, clarity and a more data-driven mindset.

Scale

Driving customer-centric growth in key segments through a strong value proposition, value-adding services and innovative packaging solutions.

Streamline

Improving efficiency and continuously developing operations to ensure an agile and efficient supply chain, strengthen competitiveness and enable a successful profitability turnaround.
