Metsä Board to Modernize Kraftliner Machine Winder at Kemi Mill

Sept. 1, 2026 - Metsä Board announced that it is investing in the finishing operations at its Kemi mill by modernising the board machine winder. The investment will be implemented during the annual maintenance shutdown in October-November 2026.

The amount of the investment was not disclosed.

"This winder modernisation strengthens our finishing operations and supports our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality products to our customers," said Tomi Seppä, VP Kemi Board Mill. "At the same time, it improves operational stability and ensures dependable deliveries."

Metsä Board Kemi has an annual production capacity of approximately 465,000 tonnes and is the world's largest producer of coated white-top kraftliners. Its products are used as the top layer in corrugated packaging worldwide.

The investment supports the mill's role in the global supply chain by further strengthening its ability to serve customers with consistent quality and reliable deliveries.

Metsä Board is a producer of lightweight and high-quality folding boxboards, foodservice boards and white kraftliners. The fresh wood fibres the company uses in its products are a renewable and recyclable resource that can be traced back to Northern European forests.
