HELSINKI -- Valmet will deliver a new flash drying and baling line and a rebuild of the existing integrated thermomechanical pulp (TMP) production line at SCA's Ortviken mill into a chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP) market pulp line, which will have a capacity of 300,000 tonnes per year. The delivery and installation of the equipment will take place during 2022 and the start-up of CTMP production is scheduled for the beginning of 2023.

The value of the order will not be disclosed. However, a project of this size and scope is typically valued at EUR 40-50 million. The order is included in Valmet's orders received of the fourth quarter 2020.

"We are very excited to collaborate with SCA and to be selected as partner for this conversion of the Ortviken mill to CTMP pulp production. We are convinced that this Valmet delivery will provide the best performance, and the pulp product mix required, to meet SCA's high expectations for this project," says Andreas Lindstedt, Corporate Account Manager, Services, Valmet.

"Both SCA and Valmet are built on a long industrial history and our joint efforts go back to year 1930 when SCA's Östrand mill was built in Sundsvall, Sweden. Our companies have a strong focus on more sustainable development as well as safety and quality. We are very proud to be the selected partner when SCA takes the next steps forward into the future," says Rickard Andersson, Vice President, Fiber Processing Business Unit, Pulp and Energy, Valmet.
