Powerflute mill to rebuild packaging line

Powerflute’s Savon Sellu mill will stop for almost two weeks in May for its annual maintenance standstill. During this standstill Savon Sellu will rebuild its packaging line. The new, fully-automated packaging line is delivered by Saimatec Engineering and can handle rolls up to 3600mm, making Savon Sellu the first Semi-Chemical Fluting producer to embrace the emerging trend for wider corrugators.

The CEO of Savon Sellu, Juha Koukka says: "Following our €2.5 million investment in fibre treatment in August, we continue to focus on improved quality and customer service. This is all part of our ongoing capital expenditure program intended to cement our position as the supplier of the best semi-chemical fluting in the world. As the first producer to properly pack and protect wide rolls we are taking an important step in implementing our customer focused strategy. We have listened to our customers carefully and studied market trends - wider rolls represent an important step in the efficiency development for the whole industry".
