OREANDA-NEWS. October 29, 2014. Sodra will invest more than SEK 100 million (USD13.8 million) in its pulp mill in Monsteras, Sweden.
The investment will result in more efficient energy utilisation and enhanced productivity at the mill, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The Monsteras pulp mill is Sodra's largest with total annual production of 750,000 tonnes of softwood and hardwood pulp. Monsteras is Sodra's oldest mill, founded in 1958, but is also one of the most modern of its kind in the world as a result of successive investments. This latest investment, now approved, relates to the expansion of the evaporation plant.
Sodra is undergoing an intensive expansion period and the investment that is now being announced is a further step in improving production, assuring and enhancing the already-high quality of its pulps and optimising energy utilisation.
Sodra's largest ongoing investment is the expansion of the pulp mill in Varo totalling in excess of SEK 4 billion (USD 551 million). The project will increase annual production at the mill from 450,000 tonnes to 700,000 tonnes. In addition, an investment of SEK 700 million (USD 96.4 million) is being made in Morrum to increase pulp production. A new chip plant will be constructed and one of the two pulp lines will be upgraded.
