Rottneros Mill switch back to groundwood pulp

Rottneros Mill will continue to produce groundwood pulp, reversing a plan announced in May of 2012 to close the groundwood pulp line at the mill.

According to Rottneros, “Customers are realizing the added value of the new pulp products developed at Rottneros Mill. One particularly successful area has been the development of pulp used for paperboard types based on both recycled and virgin fibres.”

The decision to continue producing groundwood pulp also saves the jobs of about 30 employees.

The pulp line will also continue to produce pulp for printing paper and special applications.

With the groundwood line and the CTMP line in full production, Rottneros Mill is one of the most comprehensive suppliers of high-yield pulp throughout the world, with customers in Europe, Asia and North America.
