Pöyry awarded EPCM services
assignment by Suominen for a new wetlaid production line in
USA
Suominen has awarded Pöyry (Appleton) LLC with the
EPCM services assignment for the installation of a new wetlaid
production line to be located in its Bethune plant, South Carolina,
USA. The project includes the installation of a new wetlaid line as
well as associated process, electrical and automation systems.
The investment is expected to create at least 25
jobs at the Suominen Bethune plant and the new line is anticipated
to be installed in the second half of 2016.
"To achieve the targeted substantial growth, we
seek to increase both our sales volumes and the share of products
with higher value-added in our portfolio. Therefore, the new
production line will focus on supplying nonwovens with higher added
value for, among others, household and industrial wiping as well as
flushable applications" says Nina Kopola, President & CEO of
Suominen Corporation.
"This is an important new project reference in the
wiping and hygienic applications and a continuation of a key client
relationship for Pöyry" says Vilho Salovaara, President of Pöyry's
Regional Operations North America.
The value of the order is not disclosed. The order
will be recognised within the Regional Operations Business Line
order stock in Q3/2015.
