The papermaking lines will produce uncoated woodfree grades, and start-ups are scheduled from late 2026 to early 2027. It has previously delivered multiple other technologies to the same customer.
The orders were included in Valmet’s orders received for the second quarter of 2025. The value of the orders will not be disclosed.
