The mill was built in 1872, but the foundations for the modern mill were laid in the early 1960s when a completely new sulphate pulp mill was erected and two new paper machines were installed.
This was one of the largest ever industrial investments in Sweden at the time. Further large investments have made Skärblacka one of Sweden's most modern pulp and paper mills.
Production is focused on brown sack paper, white MG paper and fluting. Important end-products for Skärblacka's paper are sacks, carrier bags, wrappers and pharmaceutical packaging.
