This past week, Metsä Tissue, Finland, reported that it has initiated construction of the converting and warehousing hall at its Krapkowice mill site in Poland. The paper machine there has been under construction since June.

A three-year company investment program at the Krapkowice mill, announced this past April, includes a significant increase in papermaking and converting capacity as well as new rental converting and warehousing buildings. The investment is designed to further improve delivery service, flexibility, and overall supply reliability.

 Preparations have proceeded smoothly and on schedule. "The project for the converting and warehousing building will be carried out in partnership with the Goodman integrated global property group, specialists in developing and managing industrial properties such as warehouses," says Juhana Kalpio, SVP Supply Chain. The building project will also involve a number of local and regional companies, thereby benefiting the local community.

"It is rewarding to have proceeded from the drawing board to the construction phase and to see the very first elements of the buildings going up," says Mariusz Jedrzejewski, VP Regional Operations. "Already, at this stage, I would like to thank both the authorities and other companies involved for being very supportive and cooperative during the process," Jedrzejewski adds.
