Tietoa julkaisijasta
Walki’s origins date back to 1930. The company Paperituote was founded in Valkeakoski by the Finnish industrialist Rudolf Walden. In 1965, the first extrusion coating line was started in the Valkeakoski plant. Walki’s international expansion took off in 1979, when a new plant was established in Steinfurt, Germany. Today the company has 10 production plants in Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the UK, Russia and China. With more than 85 years of product development experience, the company continues to invest in state-of-the-art production technology. Walki’s core expertise is in coating and laminating paper and board.
