OUR OBJECTIVES

Manufacturing of paperboard and paper bales

TOP S.A.'s aim is to produce high-quality recycled cardboard and paperboard and paper bales. We are constantly improving our production, striving to achieve the highest possible quality of our products. Our solid and sheet cardboard, recycled papers and paper bobbins meet all the standards required for this type of product. However, this does not exempt us from seeking new solutions and increasing environmental rigour. We actively work in the field of sustainability and environmental protection. Out of a sense of responsibility for the protection of nature, we are implementing new methods of using waste paper and recycling.

By our actions, we build long-term and professional relationships with our business partners.
