Metsä Tissue, Finland, reports that it is finalizing the full rebuild of PM 5 and related facilities in Düren, Germany. The machine will produce baking and cooking papers marketed under the SAGA brand. The company acquired the paper machine, related real estate, and infrastructure assets from M-Real of Finland late last year.
"The re-engineering project has been successful and the first batches of paper have been produced. During the spring, five converting lines have been installed, too, and production is expected to reach full speed by July this year," said Michael Päckner, VP, Regional Operations. Despite the transfer of converting to Düren, the company will also continue producing baking and cooking base paper at the current location in Mänttä, Finland.
"With enhanced production facilities located in close proximity to our customers, we will be able to offer our clientele improved service as well as look into new avenues of innovation for SAGA," said Raija Mörö, SVP, Baking and Cooking.
