Mondi’s Ad/Vantage Boost ensures reliable supply for Hans Schmid’s top-quality impregnated paper

Mondi and Hans Schmid closely work together to serve the European market with high-quality impregnated paper suitable for laminated products, which are then used to manufacture furniture, worktops, and other industrial applications. Hans Schmid impregnates Mondi’s Ad/Vantage Boost. The impregnated Ad/Vantage Boost is used by the wood-based materials industry to produce high-quality laminates for flooring, kitchen worktops and more before these products are delivered to the end consumer.

Ad/Vantage Boost is suitable for high-performance laminate applications due to its strength and absorbency. It serves as a carrier for resin, which is then pressed into laminate layers under heat. The paper is created with 100% responsibly sourced unbleached fresh long fibres in Sweden and Austria and is available FSC^® * or PEFC certified. 

Mondi’s saturated kraft paper is highly tear resistant, which is necessary during Hans Schmid’s absorption process: the paper needs to remain strong and sturdy without ripping, to prevent delays and additional expenses for customers. Mondi understands its customers’ requirements and translates their needs into developing high-quality saturated kraft paper, to ensure its suitability for high pressure laminate (HPL) and continuous pressure laminates (CPL) used in a variety of applications for different industries (furniture, worktops, flooring and shelving, industrial films, internal and external building panels, technical films for plywood, etc.) 

Our collaboration with Mondi is built on trust and transparency. We highly appreciate the team's expertise and are working together to expand into new markets and continuously improve our products. For us, Mondi is not just a supplier but a long-term strategic partner for the decades ahead.

Björn Lüftner, Commercial Director of Hans Schmid KG

Ad/Vantage Boost is manufactured at Mondi’s production sites in Sweden and Austria, to ensure availability for its customers across Europe: both its Frantschach and Dynäs mills are strategically located to provide short lead times and offer customers with reassurance of excellent service and production back-up if needed. 

Alexander Baars, International Sales Manager Ad/Vantage Boost at Mondi says: “High-end base saturating kraft papers are essential for the European laminates market, where efficiency, reliability and quality are top priorities for manufacturers. Our long-standing collaboration with Hans Schmid combined with our capacity to produce this essential absorbent kraft paper in suitable quantities, enables us to reliably supply both existing and new customers.”
