International technology group Andritz was selected by UPM, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, to supply energy-efficient and environmentally leading equipment and processes for all main process islands in fiber production and chemical recovery for their new pulp mill to be built near Paso de los Toros in central Uruguay.
This world-class eucalyptus pulp mill will have an annual production capacity of 2.1 million tonnes and is scheduled for start-up in the second half of 2022.
The core equipment supplied by Andritz will originate largely from Finland and thus will have a significant positive employment impact on employment for Andritz’s staff there as well as on the Andritz workshops where a large part of the core equipment for this contract will be manufactured.
Andritz is an international technology group providing plants, systems, equipment, and services for various industries.
