New pulp mill for CTMP
The CTMP market is growing globally and with our solid experience and expertise in mechanical pulp, we are now taking an important next step where we will increase production from the current 90,000 tons to 300,000 tons in a new pulp mill.
An important component is birch, which is perfect for producing customized pulp. Although it is a difficult raw material to work with, SCA is only one of a few in the world who can and it is a very versatile material. The volume of birch in SCA's forests has increased significantly in recent years, enabling us to broaden our product portfolio and offer our customers exactly what they want. New technology and equipment will also further improve our environmental performance.
Ortviken is a perfect location for the new CTMP facility. The existing modern equipment from paper production can be reused and SCA has decided to invest a further SEK 1.45 billion.
But there are several other compelling reasons why the increased CTMP production will be located at Ortviken industrial site. It takes quite a lot large efforts to modernize the current mechanical pulp facility at Östrand and a move will also simplify the existing expansion plans for the NBSK production.
The modern equipment available at Ortviken industrial site saves both time and money. Construction and groundwork are already in full swing and the CTMP facility is being installed in the existing buildings. But new chip handling and a new building for dewatering, drying and baling are being built. The facility will be operational in the beginning of 2023.
