Project Description
The project entails the construction of a new paper machine at the Obbola mill.
Production from Obbola will increase from 450 000 t/y of kraftliner to 725 000 t/y to meet the growing demand for renewable packaging.
With a wire width of 10 200 mm and a design speed of 1 400 m/min, the second paper machine will be the most productive of its kind.
