Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings subsidiary mills in China will rebuild two fine paper machines. The total value of the orders, placed with Metso, is approximately EUR 10 million. The orders are a continuation of Metso's earlier deliveries to Shandong Chenming Paper.
Metso's delivery to Wuhan Chenming Hanyang Paper in Wuhan, Hubei province, will include a film size press, an air dryer, and an upgrade of the after-dryer section. A rebuild of the press section with a shoe press and an upgrade at the BCTMP (bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp) plant will be supplied to Shouguang Chenming Art Paper in Shouguang, Shandong province. The rebuilt paper machine at Wuhan is scheduled to startup late this year, and the rebuilt machine at Shouguang will startup in 2011.
Wuhan Chenming Hanyang Paper Co., and Shouguang Chenming Art Paper Co. are subsidiaries of Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited, one of the largest paper producers in China. In 2008, the company's paper production capacity was more than 3 million metric tons.
