Arctic Paper congratulates Tomas Tranströmer, this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize in literature. Tranströmer, one of our era's most important poets, is receiving the prize "because through his condensed, translucent images, he gives us fresh access to reality".

For Arctic Paper, the selection of Tranströmer is a gratifying event from several perspectives. Ever since the attention garnered by his debut in 1954 with the poetry collection, 17 poems, a large portion of his work has been published on design and book paper from Arctic Paper Munkedals. With the approaching new publication of his works, an additional order has been placed for a total of approximately 100 tons of Munken Premium Cream 13.

- Tranströmer is without a doubt one of the world's greatest poets. Many of his popular works have been printed on Munken paper, which feels like a confirmation of the committed work that has been carried out at the plant in Munkedal in order to deliver a truly environmentally-adapted quality paper. It is quite an honour that they are also making the same selection for the new publication," says Martin Folkelind, Business Development Manager within the Arctic Paper Group.

At the publishing house, Bonnier, in Stockholm, it is naturally a great joy to see Tranströmer, who has been one of the top contenders regarding speculations about who will receive the prize, to finally be awarded this prestigious honour.
