Pöyry: Engineering and site services assignment for Stora Enso Varkaus project

Stora Enso has awarded Pöyry with the assignment for the engineering and site services for the pulp mill rebuild and paper machine conversion project at its Varkaus Mill in Finland.

 
 


The assignment relates to the pulp mill rebuild, paper machine conversion, upgrading of existing utilities, and includes detail and civil engineering as well as site services as an option. The assignment is a continuation of the pre-feasibility and the feasibility studies performed by Pöyry during 2013.

The conversion work is expected to be undertaken mainly during autumn 2015 and the board machine is scheduled to start up during the fourth quarter of 2015.

"This project is a continuation of the long co-operation between Stora Enso and Pöyry, and strengthens Pöyry's position as the world's leading pulp and paper engineering consultancy, having delivered projects for 80% of the world's major pulp and paper companies", says Nicholas Oksanen, President of Pöyry's Pulp and Paper Global Competence Line.
