Stora Enso announced that it approved two investments to enhance productivity and improve cost competitiveness at the Kotka Mill in Finland and the Kimberly Mill in the United States.
In the United States, the company approved a $12.8 million investment to rebuild a paper machine at its Kimberly mill in Wisconsin. The machine will be converted from producing coated mechanical reels to coated fine papers. The production capacity will increase by 35 000 to 185 000 metric tons per year. The project comprises installation of a top former and dilution headbox, and press section upgrade. The machine is scheduled to restart production in May 2003.
The mill has three paper machines producing coated papers for the Fine Paper, Magazine Paper and Specialty Paper customer groups.
