We will take a closer look at LWU, LWC, MWC, WF, and WC, and sort out what these terms stand for.

Holmen logotype

Holmen paper uses fresh fibre to develop innovative paper products that are ideally suited to books, magazines, advertising and packaging – areas of use that benefit from lightweight paper with high bulk and brightness and good printing properties. ​

Our paper is lighter – but not thinner. This enables resource-efficient solutions without compromising on quality or overall impression. Via our two Swedish paper mills and seven European sales companies, we deliver the paper solutions of tomorrow to customers across the globe.
