Features:

Investments are made in renewed production equipment and organization to increase capacity and eliminate bottlenecks in the two mills. The long-term objective is to expand Rottneros' total capacity to reach a business volume of at least 460,000 tons of pulp annually, compared to the 345,000 tonnes produced last year.
