Source text - Swedish För drygt etthundra år sedan startades den första pappersmaskinen på samma plats där vi idag har ett av Europas modernaste och mest avancerade mjukpappersbruk för tillverkning av specialtissue och vissa kvaliteter av airlaidmaterial.
I Gustavsfors, i närheten av Skåpafors, startade pappersmassaproduktionen redan 1874 under ledning av brukspatron Johan Ekman. Han planerade tidigt att utöka verksamheten med en sulfitfabrik i Skåpafors. Bolagsstämman fann dock år 1890 att en kemisk trämassefabrik i Skåpafors krävde allt för stora utgifter och planen gavs upp.
Först 1897 beslutade man att tillverkningen av papper skulle flyttas från Gustavsfors till Skåpafors. Det var det idealiska läget vid Skåpaströmmen som styrde valet av plats för pappersbruket. Hösten 1898 kunde första pappersmaskinen efter viss ombyggnad köras igång i Skåpafors. Pappersmaskinen var en s k yankeemaskin med 183 centimeter arbetsbredd.
Efterfrågan på kraftpapper inom det snabbt framväxande industrisamhället ökade starkt. Därför blev kraftpapper till industrin Skåpafors pappersbruks första produkt. Troligen tillverkade man också randigt omslagspapper och påspapper i olika färger ”allt av cellulosa och ovanligt starkt” vilket man kunde läsa i reklamannonser.
Translation - English Just over a hundred years ago, the first paper machines were put into operation at the same site where we now have one of Europe’s most modern, high-tech soft paper mills for the production of special tissue and certain categories of airlaid material.
In Gustavsfors, near Skåtafors, pulp production started as early as 1874 under the direction of mill owner Johan Ekman. Early on, he made plans to expand activities to include a sulfite factory in Skåpafors. However, in 1890 the general meeting found that a chemical pulp factory in Skåpafors required far too much investment, and the plan was scrapped.
Not until 1897 was the decision made to move paper production from Gustavfors to Skåpafors. It was the idealistic location at Skåpaströmmen that dictated where the paper-mill would be located. In the autumn of 1898, after a certain amount of remodeling, the first paper machine began production in Skåpafors. The machine, with a working width of 183 cm, was known as a “Yankee machine.”
The demand for kraft paper in the fast developing industrial society grew rapidly. As a result, industrial-strength kraft paper became Skåpafors paper-mill’s first product. The mill probably also produced striped wrapping paper and bag paper in different colors—“all cellulose and exceptionally strong,” as the advertisements claimed.
