Honeywell Process
Solutions (HPS) has announced that Europe’s largest pulp, board and paper
manufacturer will use HPS process automation, safety system and manufacturing
optimization technologies to modernize one of its key mills and help it meet
rising demand for renewable packaging board.
Stora Enso Oyj is
implementing Honeywell’s technologies as part of a modernization and
optimization effort at their paper mill in Varkaus, Finland. Headquartered in
Helsinki, Stora Enso is the largest pulp, board and paper producer in Europe,
and one of the largest in the world.
HPS is a major
supplier of automation and control technologies to the paper industry and its
technology can be found in more than 2,000 sites worldwide.
“Stora Enso’s business
objective is to produce and deliver the highest quality paper and board
products in the world, and Honeywell’s portfolio of technologies will help them
reach this goal safely, reliably and efficiently,” said Ali Raza, vice
president, HPS. “We have worked with Stora Enso for about 40 years and I am
pleased that Honeywell can help them modernize this facility.”
The Stora Enso project
coincides with conversion of the facility to produce kraftliner, a
virgin-fiber-based containerboard. Globally, the company produces a number of
products, including about 5.6 million tons of chemical pulp, 10.9 million tons
of paper and board, and 14 billion square feet of corrugated packaging.
