The investment plans are part of its tissue paper business’ Future mill strategy program aiming at world-class efficiency and environmental performance in tissue production. The planned program amounts to approximately EUR 100 million euros and the related investments are to be carried out over the period of next five years.

The investments will be communicated when the planning proceeds.

“The investment program strengthens Finland’s self-sufficiency in essential, locally produced hygiene products and enables modernizing our operations in Mänttä. The plans will strengthen our focus on high quality fresh fibre based hygiene products that originate from the sustainably managed Northern forests. Our Katrin, Lambi, and Serla products will deliver the benefits of the investments to the Finnish consumers”, says Joonas Kukkonen, Vice President, Supply Chain, Metsä Tissue Finland and Baltics.
