Company Profile

Eska is one of the largest shippers in the northern Netherlands. On an annual basis, more than 15,000 trucks and some 5,000 shipping containers of solid cardboard depart from both Dutch locations on their way to customers. From the service center in the United States also more than 5,000 shipments. Eska is the world market leader in the solid board market. Since July 1, 2021, Eska has been part of the RDM Group. RDM is the leading producer in recycled paperboard and the largest producer in Italy, France and in the Iberian Peninsula. Within the RDM Group, the two Eska plants together with RDM-Ovaro form the Solid Board cluster. Eska has traditionally been a traditional production company, but is developing rapidly with an increasing focus on luxury packaging. More than 275,000 tons of cardboard are made from waste paper at the mills in Hoogezand and Sappemeer. There are also sales offices and distribution centers in Virginia (USA), Milan and Barcelona. The cardboard is exported to more than 80 countries and used for such things as hardcover books (including the Harry Potter books), binders, puzzles, board games and luxury packaging (including Gucci and Dalmore). Eska focuses on operational excellence and innovating processes, in pursuit of perfection. The ambition is to continuously improve and innovate to continue serving and surprising customers.
