Mondi to upgrade and expand Kuopio mill in Finland

Mondi has approved a €125 million capital investment project at its semi-chemical fluting mill in Kuopio, Finland. This investment will increase the facility’s capacity by around 55 thousand tonnes per annum to meet growing customer demand; enhance product quality and cost-competitiveness; and strengthen the mill’s environmental performance.

The project includes an upgrade of the wood yard, fibre line, evaporation plant and paper machine. Start-up is planned for the fourth quarter of 2023.

“We are pleased to continue building our portfolio of sustainable packaging to meet our customers’ needs, leveraging the opportunities offered by our integrated, cost-advantaged asset base” said Andrew King, Group CEO.
