Board machines upgraded
Metso Paper will upgrade the pilot paper machines at its Paper Technology Center in Jyväskylä, Finland. The investment, which will cover both pilot PM 1 and PM 2, will radically improve their capabilities in creating new cutting-edge technologies for paper and board making. The total value of the investment is close to EUR 13 million. The project will be started immediately and finished by the end of 2009.By creating a world-class paper and board machine pilot environment, the investment will enable Metso Paper to grow as a leading supplier of technologies for high-speed board making. In addition to meeting current requirements, it will provide a base for long-term future development.
In conjunction with the investment, Metso Paper will centralize their paper and board research and technology development operations to Jyväskylä. Starting in 2009, the pilot runs previously carried out in Anjalankoski, Finland will be transferred to Jyväskylä.
