Production Started At Stora Enso’s Oulu Mill Stora Enso has completed the conversion of its Oulu, Finland, paper mill for production of packaging board. The pulp mill has been in production since mid-Janu- ary and the newly converted machine is in a start-up phase.The project began in May 2019 following a de- cision to invest EUR 350 million, and it was completed within the budget frame.The packaging machine will now be ramped up during the first quarter and is ex- pected to reach its designed production capacity by the end of this year. Serving The Globe The new line producing kraftliner will serve glob- al customers in demanding packaging end-uses. The product,AvantForte by Stora Enso, has three fiber lay- ers, making it the strongest kraftliner in Stora Enso’s portfolio. Packaging applications include fresh, fatty or moist food, as well as high-end e-commerce packaging. In the conversion project, one of the two former pa- per machines was converted for packaging board pro- duction.The pulp mill and drying machine were modi- fied to produce unbleached brown pulp (530,000 tons annually), out of which about 150,000 tons are sold externally. The capacity of the new kraftliner line is 450,000 tons per year.When fully ramped up within a year, Oulu Mill will generate a EUR 300 million annual sales increase for the Packaging Materials division.
