Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


Kotkamills' (Kotka, Finland) construction work on its new BM 2 has progressed to the very advanced stage, the company reports. The co-operation with potential new clients has proved that there is strong interest in consumer board products of Kotkamills Oy, it adds.

As an outcome of the Flying Eagle project, a printing paper machine is being converted to a board machine producing recyclable, repulpable, and renewable consumer board products. After shutdown and fast demolition of PM 2, the construction work of the new BM 2 started in February at the Kotka mill. The intensive project has demanded extensive work from both Kotkamills personnel as well as from external suppliers.

Startup of the new board machine will take place in July 2016. The earlier target set in 2015 was the last week of June 2016.
