Småland mills

We have two mills in Småland: Pauliström mill and Nyboholm mill. They both are located between the municipalities of Vetlanda and Hultsfred, very near to each other.

Pauliström Mill was established in 1726 by W M Pauli, who also gave the mill its name. The mill has one paper machine and two converting lines. In Pauliström mill we produce mainly toilet tissue and household towels. We have approximately 105 employees in Pauliström.

Nyboholm Mill was established in 1900 by C-A Olsson, who also owned the Pauliström Mill at the time. The mill has two paper machines and two converting lines. In Nyboholm we mainly produce toilet tissue. We have approximately 65 employees in Nyboholm.
