​With the marine logistics in order, good delivery reliability extends across oceans. The careful optimisation of pulp and sawn timber shipments reduces transport costs, but also the carbon dioxide emissions of transport.

​The pulp mills of Metsä Fibre are already in energy surplus, generating more energy than they consume. But there’s always room for improvement, meaning even higher energy efficiency. Shared goals and operating methods are the key to success.

​Environmental concerns, demographic changes, and evolving technology are the key megatrends of the 21st century. Their impact is also visible in Metsä Fibre’s strategy and day-to-day operations, as solutions for many of the world’s problems are to be found in wood or fibre-based products.

​Production Engineer Victoria Eklund truly enjoys working at the Renko sawmill. The workplace atmosphere is open and honest.

​An investment in a new paper machine is to double the tissue paper production of Century Pulp and Paper. Metsä Fibre sells pulp to the Indian market in cooperation with its Japanese partner, Itochu.

​In addition to pulp and other bioproducts, Metsä Fibre’s pulp mills produce a significant amount of renewable energy. Surplus electricity from the mills is enough for 70,000 electrically heated detached houses.

​Metsä Fibre is participating in the ExpandFibre co-operation, which aims to develop technologies and business concepts around new bioproducts.

​At Metsä Fibre, we plan to produce even more high-quality sawn timber in the future. This way, we’ll ensure that both our delivery and our customers’ supply chains are reliable.

​Barrus, an Estonian customer of Metsä Fibre, transforms also Finnish sawn timber to finger-jointed window and door components.

​Mocopinus, a traditional manufacturer of interior panelling, has transformed into an operator that develops and implements trendy timber façade solutions and wants to serve its customers in cooperation with timber producers.

​Esko Pekuri, Metsä Fibre’s Technical Customer Service Manager is retiring after working at Metsä Group for a total of 45 years.

​Metsä Fibre works towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. We ensure that our products and our supply chain comply with the highest sustainability standards.

Metsä Fibre’s Sales and Marketing organisation moved over to a regional structure on 1 March 2021. Sales regions will be responsible for the sale of both pulp and sawn timber from now on.

​Construction work on the Metsä Fibre Rauma sawmill site is progressing as planned. The sawmill buildings will be completed in phases during 2021.

​Crude Sulphate Turpentine (CST) is presently used in fragrances, adhesives, chewing gum – and yes, even in car tyres. 

​DRT, operator in CST distillation, wants to involve all the partners in its value chain in a continuous process to reduce its environmental impact. Metsä Fibre is an important partner in this work.

​Metsä Fibre updated the classification of sawn timber in January 2021. The new classification is based on end uses; joinery and living, construction, furniture and packaging.

​Most of the sawn timber produced by Metsä Fibre is used to manufacture housing products such as doors, windows and joinery products.

​Metsä Fibre wants positive interaction with community leaders and people living in its mill locations. The Rauma pulp mill has a wide range of partners.

​Orlando Rojas’ efforts in 2018 led to the establishment of “FinnCERES” by Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. A joint competence centre for the materials bioeconomy is supported by a group of businesses, including Metsä Fibre.

Metsä Fibre is building a new sawmill in Rauma. The sawmill will start operating in 2022 and it starts a new era in the sawn timber industry.

​Collaboration with educational institutions and students helps Metsä Fibre maintain a good employer image. All levels of Joutseno pulp mill personnel participate in recruitment events – including the mill manager.

Environmental awareness and technological development are driving growth in specialty paper markets. Fibre-based products are increasingly replacing plastic.

​We want to help our customers develop in a sustainable way. Our shared value chain begins in the Finnish forests.
