Metsä Tissue, part of Metsä Group, inaugurated its renewed paper mill in October 2, in Krapkowice, Poland. The over EUR 55 million investment programme was started three years ago and it is the largest in Metsä Tissue’s history. The investment includes two new, state-of-the-art tissue paper machines, a new away-from-home product converting line as well as extending the converting and warehousing to new, logistically effective facilities.
The investment increases the mill’s tissue production capacity up to 85,000 tonnes per year and converting capacity up to 50,000 tonnes per year.
"The renewed Krapkowice mill is the most modern tissue facility in Europe. This investment is strategically important to Metsä Group as it strengthens our market position and competitiveness in the Polish tissue market. Today’s consumers want sustainably manufactured, high-quality hygiene products. Our Polish mill meets these expectations extremely well,” says Kari Jordan, President and CEO, Metsä Group.
Krapkowice mill produces Metsä Tissue’s top brands Lambi, Mola and Katrin for both consumer and away-from-home markets. The mill uses both virgin and recycled fibre. Metsä Tissue has applied for environmental labels, such as the EU Flower and the Nordic Eco-label, for all the mill’s products.
