​The sustainability of the sawn timber produced by Metsä Fibre is based on sustainably managed forests, certified and traceable wood raw material, and low-carbon production.

​Not a splinter goes to waste at Metsä Fibre's sawmills. The materials not fit for conversion are used in the production of bioenergy. Thanks to the meticulous use of wood, the sawmills are virtually fossil-free.

​Metsä Fibre aims to be the world's most responsible pulp producer. This is why its pulp mills must replace all of their fossil fuels with biofuels. Reliability in matters involving sustainability also benefits customers. 

​Bioproducts made from renewable raw materials are replacing fossil raw materials. Metsä Fibre’s unique bioproduct mill concept takes resource efficiency to a whole new level. The basic idea is to make use of 100 percent of the different parts of a tree.

​New technology, control-room work and the sawmill's continuous operation require several skills from the operators of the future Rauma sawmill, including the mastery of user maintenance.

​The Rauma sawmill under construction offers an opportunity to participate in a unique, world-class project of the kind none of us see very often.

The excavation work on the Rauma sawmill construction site is nearing its end. The sawmill project organisation will move to Rauma in October, when the actual construction work begins. The high-speed sawmill is also being built at a high speed. The test runs will begin in summer 2022.

​Our pulp customers in Asia and Europe have responded to a new customer satisfaction survey. The survey provides more detailed information on what is working well and where further development could be made.

​Metsä Fibre's multifaceted expert services support the processes and business operations of sawn timber customers. In addition to receiving technical support and quality information based on the Timber FOX index, customers benefit from our online store for sawn timber and efficient monitoring of deliveries.

​High-quality products and reliable operations were frequently cited as successes in a customer satisfaction survey conducted by Metsä Fibre. We will continue to increase and improve our active communication with customers.

​The Fines Management Audit is a service for assessing how well customers’ paper machines and paperboard production lines manage the fines in the fibre raw material and its development. By optimising the quantity of fines, the productivity of the machines can be improved. Optimisation also prevents equipment from getting dirty and minimises the mill’s wastewater loads.

​At Metsä Fibre's bioproduct mill in Äänekoski, exceptional practices are being implemented at work to prevent the spread of coronavirus infections. Some of the new procedures have been found to be so good that they will continue even after the crisis.

​Research Professor Tekla Tammelin studies the uses of cellulose. Among other uses, it could have new applications in the purification of drinking water and air, replacing plastic and even in the production of cancer drugs. 

​Metsä Group's visitor centre, Pro Nemus, is a window not only into the company, but also into the present and future of the Finnish forest industry.

​An RFID tag is like a small price tag that contains a lot of information on the pulp unit. The tag makes it possible to monitor the data of a pulp batch in real time.

​"Digitalisation is already playing a key role in the pulp industry. Innovations will take place as long as operators have the courage to invest in new technology," says Matti Toivonen, VP, Technology.

​Metsä Fibre's Business Development Manager Jukka Rantamäki is a little bit like a scientist and explorer in his work: he follows the competition, gathers data and supervises development projects in which Metsä Fibre's professionals come up with new ideas in cooperation with the company's partners.

​My career in Metsä Fibre has been a journey of continuous learning. It goes well together with my crossfit background.

Metsä Fibre's refining audit service can be used to determine how you can refine pulp for the best end result. Optimised refining gives paper or paperboard the desired properties and can save energy costs substantially.

​The FIT tool used by Metsä Fibre's technical customer service can be used to quickly and cost-effectively evaluate and modify paper and board furnishes. Optimisation of the stock furnish results in the best possible final product quality, more efficient production and lower production costs. 

​While Isku interior's new Prima chair may look like an ordinary plastic chair, it is not. The chair is made from a biocomposite, in which the plastic has been reinforced with wood fibre.

​Metsä Group's Äänekoski bioproduct mill meets the high sustainability standards of the future.

​The Nordic Timber logo previously printed on the protective plastic packaging is no longer in use and instead the white cover now features the word Metsä in a black font, as well as the elk logo in green, and a forest pattern depicting Finnish nature. We also used this opportunity to harmonise the look of the shipping marks stamped on the ends of the sawn timber.

​Sawn timber sales and customer service have been transferred from Metsä Wood to Metsä Fibre’s organisation. The goal is to create a closer link between production and sales, and improve day-to-day customer service.
