Metso will supply a coated cartonboard production line to Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Co., Ltd to the company's Hongmei mill in Guangdong province, China. The start-up of the new production line is scheduled for the end of 2011. The value of the order is not disclosed. A typical value of a board production line of this type is about EUR 70-90 million, depending on the scope of delivery and production output. The order is included in Paper and Fiber Technology's Q3 orders received.
Metso's delivery will include a complete white lined chipboard machine, from four-ply multi-Fourdrinier forming section to winder, with related air systems.
Lee & Man Paper and Metso have a long and prosperous co-operation, a good example of which are the Changshu and Hongmei kraftliner machines delivered earlier.
