Negotiated outcome reached in the collective labour agreement negotiations at UPM Biofuels

UPM Biofuels and the Paper Workers’ Union have reached a negotiation outcome in the collective labour agreement negotiations concerning UPM Biofuels’ Lappeenranta biorefinery.

“The negotiations were conducted in a very good spirit, and we were able to focus on the essential issues right from the beginning. The content of the negotiation outcome creates a good basis for flexible operation and development of the refinery,” says Petri Rekonen, Director of UPM Biofuels’ Lappeenranta biorefinery.

The new collective labour agreement will have a two-year contract period and it will enter into force upon approval by the Paper Workers’ Union’s Board. The union has announced that the Board will discuss the negotiation outcome at its meeting on 5 June 2024.

Negotiations on the collective labour agreements for UPM Specialty Papers and UPM Raflatac will continue.

Catalyst cuts back production at Powell River mill

A fibre shortage has left Catalyst Paper Corporation with no options but to curtail production on paper machine 11 at its Powell River mill. Unable to acquire enough fibre from its regular source in the Okanagan, the company announced on Thursday, April 5, that it will not make paper from paper machine 11 for three weeks, from Monday, April 16, to Monday, May 7. The primary driver for Catalyst’s production cutback is the shortage of fibre, making it uneconomical to run paper machine 10 and paper machine 11, according to Kissack.

ANDRITZ to upgrade evaporation plant for Moorim P&P, South Korea

International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from Moorim P&P, South Korea, to upgrade an evaporation plant at its Ulsan mill, which produces bleached kraft pulp and different types of high-quality paper. The refurbishment will help to increase the mill’s efficiency and reduce consumption of resources. Mr. Kim Sangwoo, Project Director, Moorim P&P, says, “We have set ambitious energy saving targets for our Ulsan mill. This upgrade will increase the capacity of our evaporation line no. 1 and the final dry solids content of the black liquor, which supports these targets. ANDRITZ’s efficient technologies will contribute to water and energy savings.” The upgraded evaporation plant is designed to produce a stable, high-solids black liquor stream for efficient combustion in the recovery boiler. All condensates generated in the evaporation plant can be 100% re-used in other mill areas reducing the need for raw water.
