The CTMP market is growing globally and with solid experience and expertise in mechanical pulp, SCA are now taking an important next step where they will increase production from the current 90,000 tons to 300,000 tons, starting early 2023.
An important component is birch, which is perfect for producing customized pulp. Although it is a difficult raw material to work with, SCA is only one of a few in the world who can and it is a very versatile material. The volume of birch in SCA's forests has increased significantly in recent years, enabling us to broaden our product portfolio and offer our customers exactly what they want. New technology and equipment will also further improve our environmental performance.
Ortviken is a perfect location for the new CTMP facility. The existing modern equipment from paper production can be reused and SCA has decided to invest a further SEK 1.45 billion.
