One order includes a complete papermaking line from stock preparation to reel and winders, a comprehensive automation solution package as well as spare parts and consumables packages. The other order includes a paper machine rebuild with automation and services. Both will produce uncoated woodfree grades, and the start-ups are scheduled for 2026.

The orders are included in Valmet's orders received of the second quarter 2024. Their values will not be disclosed, but the papermaking line is typically worth between EUR 90 million and EUR 120 million, and the rebuild between EUR 20 million and EUR 40 million.

"Our long-term partnership with the customer has resulted in many successful projects, and these orders are continuing our cooperation. The customer was searching for a supplier capable of providing flexible solutions and advanced technology for high-speed paper machines to meet their high quality, production speed and efficiency targets. The orders will strengthen Valmet's position as the preferred supplier for wide and high-speed fine paper machine lines,” says Markus Veikkola, Director, Contracts and Customer Relations, Board and Paper Mills, Paper business line, Valmet.
