Estonian Cell extends its service agreement with Valmet

Estonian Cell’s aspen pulp mill in Kunda, Estonia, has extended its service agreement with Valmet to an additional five years.

“We are happy to continue our partnership. With support from Valmet, we continue to develop our processes to increase the production availability and efficiency,” says Rain Pärn, chief technical officer of AS Estonian Cell. The service agreement covers continuous collaboration on spare parts, process evaluations and condition assessment of the mechanical equipment, as well as yearly shutdowns of the fibre line and baling line.

Estonian Cell, owned by the Austrian Heinzel Group, produces 190,000 tons of aspen pulp a year, which is used in the production of printing paper, cardboard, tissue paper and special-use paper.
