Metso has once again received an order for a complete tissue production

line for Syktyvkar Tissue Group in Russia. The new tissue machine will

be installed at the company’s new site in Semibratovo, located some 220

km from Moscow. The start-up of the machine is scheduled for mid 2014.

The value of the order will not be disclosed.

The order follows the previous Metso installation of an Advantage DCT

100 tissue machine in 2007 and a major tissue machine rebuild during

2012.

”We are very pleased that Syktyvkar has ordered their third consecutive

major project from us. This is proof that our way of working as

partners with our customers is rewarding for both sides,” says Leif

Forsberg, Senior Vice President, Sales, Tissue Mills business unit,

Metso.

The main part of the order is included in Metso’s Pulp, Paper and Power

first quarter 2013 orders received. The automation package is included

in Automation’s first quarter 2013 orders received.
