Metsä Wood moves Kerto-Ripa wooden elements production to Pälkäne, Finland

Jan 28, 2016. /Lesprom Network/. The manufacture of Metsä Wood's Kerto-Ripa® wooden elements is moving from Heinola to Pälkäne, Finland, in February. The new premises are about one and a half times bigger and are better suited for the increase in production of intermediate floor elements, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

"The demand for Kerto® LVL based wood elements has been good and these new, more spacious premises will allow us to grow our production of Kerto-Ripa intermediate floors in particular. The improved floor elements which were launched at the end of last year are a good example of how active our product development is. We are testing the functionality of different structures in our element production, and we are continually looking for totally new kinds of solutions to meet the requirements of modern construction," says Jari Tikkanen, SVP, Building and Industry.

Metsä Wood's element factory manufactures Kerto-Ripa® intermediate floor and ceiling elements from Kerto® LVL wood products.
