Metso supplies large paper making line to Oji Paper in Japan
(Helsinki, Finland, February 7, 2007) — Metso Corporation (NYSE: MX; OMXH: MEO1V)
Metso Paper will supply Oji Paper Co., Ltd. in Japan with a large paper making line. The new
350,000 tpy PM N-1 light-weight coated paper production line will be constructed at Oji Paper’s
Tomioka mill located in Anan City on Shikoku island. Start-up is scheduled for the fourth quarter
of 2008. The total value of the order is more than EUR 100 million.
The OptiConcept paper machine will have a wire width of 10.2 m and a design speed of 2,000 m/min.
It is an all on-line machine, featuring the first on-line multinip calender in Japan. The delivery
also includes two winders, various auxiliaries, process systems, air systems and site services.
Oji has production facilities in Asia, Europe, North America and New Zealand. In 2005 the company
had sales of EUR 8 billion and a personnel of close to 20,000.
The Japanese paper and board industry, which currently ranks number three in the world with its 31
million annual tonnes, has recently made major investments in new capacity. Within the past eight
months, four new, large papermaking lines have been announced in the country, with Metso Paper
selected as the main supplier for three of them: Nippon Paper’s Ishinomaki mill PM 6, Hokuetsu
Paper Mills’ Niigata PM 9, and Oji Paper’s Tomioka PM 1.
Metso Paper has been actively present in the Japanese pulp and paper market — widely considered as
one of the world’s most demanding — for 30 years, first in co-operation with Sumitomo Heavy
Industries, and since the beginning of 2007 as an independent company, Metso Paper Japan Co., Ltd.
Metso is a global engineering and technology corporation with 2005 net sales of approximately
EUR 4.2 billion. Its 25,000 employees in more than 50 countries serve customers in the pulp and
paper industry, rock and minerals processing, the energy industry and selected other industries.
