Green Bay Packaging, Inc. Invests in New Press Section for Arkansas Kraft Division

GREEN BAY, WI – July 11, 2014 – Green Bay Packaging Inc. (GBP) announced that it is moving forward with a press section replacement for PM1 at its Arkansas Kraft Division in Morrilton Arkansas. 

The $30 million project will include a new large nip press in the first press position, followed by a new shoe press in
the second press position. In addition, the project will include significant infrastructure upgrades to the
press section framework and structural supports. These PM1 upgrades will increase production by over
13% and significantly improve efficiency when running lightweight linerboard and medium.
The company is partnering with Voith Paper for equipment supply, and Robins & Morton for engineering
services. The press section replacement is scheduled for completion in July 2015, with an estimated
downtime of 24 days.
Arkansas Kraft is an integrated, two machine, virgin mill, that produces between 420-440 thousand tons
of paper per year. Over the last five years, Green Bay Packaging has made significant investments in the
mill including a new Paperchine base headbox in 2012, an above ground electrical power distribution
system in 2012, and a Voith recycled-fiber-plant in 2011. In addition to the press section replacement,
GBP anticipates installing a new natural gas boiler in 2015.
