Mondi to upgrade its containerboard mill in Kuopio

Andritz has provided key equipment for a new hardwood Neutral Sulfite Semi-Chemical (NSSC) production line and for a woodyard upgrade to packaging and paper producer Mondi at its containerboard mill in Kuopio, Finland.

This delivery is part of Mondi’s expansion and upgrade project at the mill, which produces high-quality semi-chemical fluting, primarily for food packaging.

“Mondi's purpose is to be sustainable by design, and investments like this support our MAP2030 sustainability commitments which include a focus on circular-driven packaging and paper solutions”, said Juha Koukka, Managing Director of Mondi Kuopio. “The equipment and process improvements will increase production capacity by 55,000 tonnes per annum while enhancing efficiency and improving environmental performance.”
