The new Kemi bioproduct mill will use wood that has full traceability. All our wood raw materials come from sustainably managed forests and we always regenerate forests after felling.

Pile driving and earthworks are nearly complete at Metsä Fibre’s Kemi bioproduct mill. The installation of concrete elements, laying of ground slabs and mechanical installations are widely underway. As spring progresses, more and more of the site will move to the installation phase.

The Kemi bioproduct mill will play an important role in achieving our 2030 sustainability targets. Watch the video to find out more.

Metsä Fibre, part of the Metsä Group, is building the world’s most modern mill in Kemi, Finland. The bioproduct mill certainly is more than a mill; it operates completely without fossil fuels and produces renewable electricity 2.5% share of Finland’s total electricity production. The bioproduct mill is top notch in terms of environmental, energy and material efficiency.

The first buildings go up on the bioproduct mill site. The pulp fibre line building, turbine building and bleached pulp storage towers are now clearly distinguishable. The arrival of the first special transports was a major milestone at the end of the year.

The Kemi bioproduct mill will produce pure, clean pulp that’s also safe for use with food packaging. Watch the video to find out more.

The project engineering for Metsä Fibre’s bioproduct mill project in Kemi, Finland will start at the beginning of August 2020. This means the detailed engineering of the mill’s technology, civil construction, MEI installations and commissioning, as well as preparation for the project’s construction phase. The engineering work will be carried out in cooperation with the selected four main implementation partners: Valmet, ABB, AFRY and Fimpec.

Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, has completed the first-phase preparatory work as part of the pre-engineering of the Kemi bioproduct mill in the Kemi mill area on schedule in January. The second phase will begin in early April. The purpose of the preparatory work is to enable the construction of the mill and a smooth start for the related earthworks.

​Schedule management and cooperation are the basis of a successful project, and the project planning of the Kemi bioproduct mill has proceeded precisely according to schedule.
