About us
CEPI Eurokraft is the European Association for the Producers of Kraft Paper for
the Flexible Packaging Industry. It has ten member companies representing a volume
of almost 2,5 Million tons of paper produced in ten countries.
CEPI Eurokraft originates from Scankraft, once the organization for the Nordic Kraft
Paper and Sack Kraft Paper producers. In 1993, producers from other parts of Europe
joined Scankraft and formed its own Sack Paper Division Eurokraft.
CEPI Eurokraft was started as from January 1st, 2000. At the same time Scankraft
was closed. All kraft paper qualities were gathered together in the new organization.
To stress the affiliation with the European paper industry, the new organization
was shaped as a CEPI Industry Sector under the name of CEPI Eurokraft.
In 2009 CEPI Eurokraft joined CITPA – The International Confederation of Paper and
Board Converters in Europe – as associated member. By the membership, CEPI Eurokraft
has access to valuable information also from the converting side.
Mission
The mission is to promote business interests of the industry, to follow and influence
packaging directives and legislation and to provide services to the members.
