Metso to supply thermo-mechanical pulping line to Holmen Paper, Sweden
Metso Paper will supply a new, energy-efficient thermo-mechanical pulping line to

spring of 2008. The value of the order is more than EUR 10 million. The order is
included in the first quarter order backlog of 2007.
The investment will lead to improved quality, lower energy consumption, increased
heat recovery and greater pulp production. The delivery involves refining and
process equipment, and pulp washing with a press. The new line, which will have a
capacity of 780 tonnes/day, will replace a line from 1977.
The Braviken mill produces newsprint and telephone directory paper. Braviken is
part of Holmen Paper.
