Metsä Group has selected key partners for the pre-engineering project for Muoto™ packaging factory

Metsä Group’s pre-engineering project for a potential commercial-scale Muoto™ fibre product plant is progressing as planned. After the pre-engineering phase, Metsä Group may consider making an investment decision. The partners selected for the pre-engineering project are Elomatic, SRV, Valmet Technologies and A-insinöörit Suunnittelu.

SRV will act as project management contractor for the construction project and will also be the engineering design partner for the building services. Elomatic has been selected as the main design partner for the design of the factory structure and facilities and will assist in the cost planning and construction schedule. Valmet will act as process engineer for the fibre product in the project. A-insinöörit Suunnittelu Ltd has been selected as the plant construction design partner for the project.

“In this project, we are scaling up operations from a pilot plant to industrial scale and designing the workplace of the future. It is a completely new product and operating model, and we have chosen partners whose vision and experience will best support the progress of the project,” says Veli-Pekka Kyllönen, Project Director of Metsä Group’s innovation company Metsä Spring.

MSU School of Packaging completes $10 million renovation, spotlights faculty

The MSU School of Packaging in East Lansing, MI, established within the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources as the first of its kind in 1952, is the largest packaging program in the US, with more than 600 students each year and 10,000 alumni worldwide – graduating 40% of all the packaging professionals in the United States. Under the leadership of former School of Packaging director, and current CANR Interim Dean Matthew Daum, the school completed a comprehensive renovation supported by donations totaling over $10 million in April of 2023. Formal planning is currently underway for a second major expansion – a $25 million investment that will double the size of the building and significantly increase research capacity, creating space for more faculty and graduate students. “The School of Packaging has established itself as a model of success, and our outstanding faculty’s work supports the global packaging industry and improves lives,” Daum says. “We’re successful here because we attract top-tier faculty, whose curiosity and dedication fuel long-term solutions in areas like sustainability, profitability and environmental impact.”
