The revamped machine produces toilet paper and hand towel base paper for products marketed under the Lambi, Serla and Katrin brands. The purpose of the six million Euros rebuild was to improve product quality. Another key target was to improve energy efficiency, which is one of the company's strong focus areas. The rebuild will reduce water consumption and contribute to energy savings in line with Metsä Tissue's commitment to cut energy consumption by 20 percent within three years. “The rebuild schedule was ambitious, but the project, implemented together with Vaahto Pulp & Paper Machinery Group, was very successful and actually proceeded ahead of plan. This was made possible thanks to the dedication and excellent team input of all involved. The runnability and speed of the paper machine and converting lines improved clearly, resulting in increased efficiency,” said Jori Sahlstén, Mill Manager of the Mänttä mill.
