Metsä Tissue to invest 30 million Euros in Düren
The sum includes approximately ten million Euros invested in PM5 at the mill in Düren, related real estate and infrastructure assets purchased from M-Real. The mill will specialize in producing Metsä Tissue's baking and cooking papers sold and marketed under the Saga brand. The investment program will kick off immediately with a machine rebuild scheduled to be ready during the spring 2011. The rebuilt paper machine will be equipped with enhanced coating options and supported by five converting lines and other related equipment. One of the converting lines is brand-new, and the others will be moved gradually from Finland. Converting is scheduled to start up between February and July next year.Baking and cooking paper production at the company's Mänttä will be downsized from two paper machines to one during the first half of next year, when the 82-year-old paper machine is shut down.
