Kotkamills will convert its existing printing paper (machine-finished coated paper, MFC) production line to produce high-quality folding boxboard and barrier board grades. The start-up of this rebuilt machine is scheduled for the second quarter of 2016. As part of this ~170 MEUR investment, Kotkamills selected Pesmel to renew and automate the mill’s roll handling and Kraft wrapping.
