⭐Strengthening local collaboration for smarter packaging solutions!⭐
Yesterday, a team from Tronrud Packaging spent the day at Smurfit Westrock in Hønefoss — one of the world’s largest paper- based packaging groups, with 500+ factories and more than 100,000 employees globally.
Tronrud Engineering is a company that designs and builds advanced packaging machinery. It is invaluable for us to collaborate closely with a high- quality paper and packaging supplier, located almost next door. Good machinery and good packaging materials must go hand in hand, and our customers benefit directly from the combined expertise of both parties.
Throughout the day we explored:
📦 Paper and packaging production
🔧 Printing methods, quality and tolerances
💡 Innovation and “fit for purpose” solutions
🏭 A deep dive factory tour — including the impressive 104 meter paper machine
📚 The company’s journey from Oslo Bølgepapp (1929) to Smurfit WestRock (2024)
The exchange of knowledge, insights and practical perspectives was incredibly valuable — and further strengthens the local collaboration between two Hønefoss based companies working towards smarter, more efficient and more sustainable packaging solutions.
A big thank you to the entire Smurfit Westrock team for hosting Tronrud Engineering.
