At Rottneros Mill two categories of mechanical pulp are manufactured: CTMP and groundwood pulp. These pulps, are available in about 25 different varieties of products with varying properties, accounting for approximately 45 per cent of the Group’s production. The production in 2018 was 174,000 tonnes, which makes the mill one of Europe's largest producers of mechanical pulp.
Vallvik
Vallvik Mill
At Vallvik Mill long-fibre chemical sulphate pulp is produced, which accounts for approximately 55 per cent of the Group's production. The sulphate process used is not only the most common process for production of chemical pulp but it also produces a stronger pulp. An impressive 99 per cent of fuel used at the mill today is fossil-free and 97 per cent of all chemicals are recycled.
