On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, the inauguration of Metsä Group's bioproduct mill in Kemi was celebrated. The Kemi bioproduct mill represents the largest investment in Metsä Group's history, valued at approximately two billion euros.
The bioproduct mill produces 1.5 million tons of softwood and hardwood pulp annually, which is used to manufacture various renewable products such as cardboard, tissue paper, specialty papers, and printing paper. In addition to pulp, the bioproduct mill will significantly increase the production of co-products, namely tall oil, turpentine and bioenergy.
Flootech was responsible for delivering, installing and put into operation a water intake plant, water treatment plant, demineralized water treatment plant and condensate polishing for the bioproduct mill, helping Metsä Fibre achieve high resource efficiency and product quality as well as energy and environmental targets. We are very pleased to have partnered with Metsä Group in building this bioproduct mill, which stands as a global leader in energy, resource, and environmental efficiency.
Congratulations to Metsä Group, a great milestone in the Finnish forest industry!
