Metsä Fibre will launch a pre-engineering phase for the construction of a new pine sawmill with approximately 750,000 cubic meters of annual capacity in connection with Rauma pulp mill in Finland, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The size of the investment would be approximately Euro 200 million and the sawmill line, when realised, would be the most modern and efficient in the world. The aim is to increase the utilisation of new technology and data of the sawmill to a clearly higher level compared to existing sawmills.
The final decision on Metsä Fibre’s investment is estimated to be made in the beginning of 2020.
Metsä Fibre is a leading producer of bioproducts and bioenergy. Metsä Fibre is part of Metsä Group.
