Metsä Group takes a big step forward in the development of Kuura and starts pre-engineering the first commercial Kuura textile fibre mill. Its purpose is to prepare for the industrial production of Kuura fibre. This is an important step in Metsä Group’s work to develop wood-based products of higher added value. The Kuura textile fibre is produced from softwood pulp, the raw material of which is sourced from Metsä Group’s Finnish owner-members’ forests. The pre-engineering of the Kuura mill is expected to continue until the summer of 2026. The project entity that has now started consists of four parts: pre-engineering of the first commercial mill, the development of the Kuura fibre production process, work done with customers to facilitate market entry. The application for an environmental permit is part of the factory's pre-engineering package. Kuura textile fibre is a new product developed by Metsä Group, in which Finnish wood is converted into a unique textile fibre with high added value – without fossil fuels.
