Metso Supplying Board Machines to Chinese Paper Company

Paper equipment company lands contract with Liansheng Paper Industry.

Metso Corp. announced that it will supply two board machines to Liansheng Paper Industry Co. Ltd. for its mill in Longhai City in China. The start-up of both machines is scheduled for the first quarter of 2012.

The two machines will give the Chinese paper company a combined annual capacity of around 800,000 metric tons.

One of the new machines will produce testliner and the other will produce fluting.

This is not the first time that the Chinese paper company has opted to use Metso equipment. Fujian Liansheng Paper Co. Ltd., Liansheng’s parent company, ordered a containerboard machine from Metso for another mill in 2009.
