Finland-based Metso will supply two board machines to Liansheng Paper Industry (Longhai), to its mill in Longhai City in Fujian Province on the southeast coast of China.
The start-up of both machines is scheduled for the first quarter of 2012. The value of the order has not been disclosed. The order is included in Paper and Fiber Technology’s Q3 orders received.
Metso’s delivery will include two board machines. The combined annual capacity of the two machines will be about 800,000 tonnes. One of the new machines will produce testliner and the other will produce fluting. Both machines utilize new technology in machine building, design and operation.
Liansheng Paper Industry is a subsidiary of Fujian Liansheng Paper. In 2009, Fujian Liansheng Paper ordered a containerboard machine from Metso to its Zhangzhou mill. The new order for two machines to the Longhai mill further emphasises the strong co-operation between Fujian Liansheng Paper and Metso.
