Metsä Wood’s new Kerto® LVL line at Lohja mill starts up

Production at Metsä Wood’s new Kerto® LVL line in Lohja has started. The construction project has progressed according to plan and in schedule. The investment is part of Metsä Wood’s EUR 100 million investment program for Kerto® LVL and plywood, and it supports the company’s industrial efficiency strategy.

At the Lohja mill, three Kerto LVL production lines were operating until the end of last year. With the investment, one of the old lines has been dismantled and another old line is being run down by the end of 2017.

The new Kerto LVL line increases the mill’s production capacity by 20,000 m3 per year. The mill has a total capacity of 120,000 m3. The new line will reach full capacity within one year.
