MM Group results for the first half of 2023

At EUR 2,181.4 million, the consolidated sales of the group were slightly below the previous year's figure (H1 2022: EUR 2,218.5 million). A decrease in the MM Board & Paper division, which was mainly due to volume, was offset by an increase in the MM Packaging division due to acquisitions and prices. The operating result fell by EUR 181.0 million from EUR 285.0 million to EUR 104.0 million. This decline is mainly due to extensive shutdowns at MM Board & Paper due to market and remodeling. The Group's operating margin was therefore 4.8% (H1 2022: 12.8%). The profit for the period fell from EUR 205.8 million to EUR 63.3 million.

Metsä Board Kyro mill’s new modernised finishing area starts up

The modernisation of the Metsä Board Kyro mill’s finishing area has now been completed and the finishing line with new advanced equipment has started up. During the mill’s annual maintenance shutdown in October, a new state-of-the-art reeler and winder were installed on the production line, and the reel broke handling system was significantly upgraded. The investment, announced in December 2019, was worth EUR 20 million. Metsä Board is part of Metsä Group. "The new high automation finishing line will further improve the quality consistency of the paperboard reels and increase the runnability on our customers' converting lines. In addition, the automation will improve upon the existing occupational safety level in the mill's finishing area and reduce the physical workload," says Petri Huiko, Mill Manager at Metsä Board Kyro mill. The Kyro mill produces coated high-quality folding boxboard and innovative dispersion coated barrier board, which helps reduce plastic in consumer packaging. The mill has a production capacity of 190,000 tonnes per year.

Ahlstrom receives FDA 510(k) clearance for Reliance® Fusion, the next-generation sterilization wrap

Ahlstrom recently received the FDA 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Reliance® Fusion, a next-generation sterilization wrap that helps increase efficiency in the sterilization of surgical equipment trays at hospitals. FDA 510(k) clearance is needed to market and sell medical devices in the U.S. Sterilization wraps are extensively used in healthcare facilities worldwide to help maintain the sterility of surgical instruments. Ahlstrom single-use sterilization wraps help to prevent microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, spores) from easily gaining access to the tray contents, allow sterilization, provide physical protection, and maintain sterility of surgical instruments up to the point of use. They thus play a crucial role in infection prevention and patients’ safety. The sterilization process is often time-consuming, requires the use of expensive processing aids such as tray liners, and involves longer drying cycles and stocking multiple weights of sterilization wrap to ensure all moisture has been eliminated.
