Progroup Board Sas

What they make

According to their website, Progroup Board S.A.S. in Douvrin operates as a corrugated sheetboard plant within the German-headquartered Progroup group, a family-run paper and packaging business active across six Central European countries. The Douvrin site is one of the group's corrugated sheetfeeder plants, which together convert containerboard into corrugated sheetboard on high-tech machinery, offered in single-wall, double-wall and triple-wall profiles and described as 100% recyclable. The raw containerboard is produced at three of the group's own German paper mills exclusively from recovered paper, marketed under the K-Line and SLW-Line ranges. Rather than manufacturing finished packaging itself, the group supplies independent, medium-sized packaging manufacturers with sheetboard, a model intended to avoid competing with its own customers. The group also develops lighter-weight "Next Fibre" and "Next Board" grades aimed at reducing resource use, and it runs its own logistics company alongside two power stations fuelled by refuse-derived fuel. Group-wide, Progroup employs around 1,720 people across 20 production facilities in Central Europe.
