Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has completed its €125 million investment in the Kuopio containerboard mill. It includes upgrades to the wood yard, fibre line, evaporation plant, and paper machine producing ProVantage Powerflute®, a high-performance fluting predominantly used in fresh fruit and vegetable trays and boxes. 

This investment will increase production capacity by 55,000 tonnes per annum, enhance product quality for the benefit of our customers, and improve environmental performance by reducing greenhouse gas emissions per tonne of paper and improving resource and energy efficiency.  

Mondi Kuopio marked this milestone with an inauguration event attended by local politicians and partners, highlighting the collaborative efforts and shared vision of Mondi and its stakeholders in fostering economic growth and environmental responsibility. 

Andrew King, CEO Mondi Group, said, “We are delighted to celebrate the completion of this significant investment and the opportunity it gives us to continue providing high-quality, sustainable products to our customers. It also demonstrates our commitment to supporting economic growth in the region and securing the long-term viability of the Kuopio mill.”
