Helsinki, Finland 03 February 2017 -- Stora Enso is investing EUR 28 million at its Heinola Fluting Mill in Finland to meet a growing customer demand globally.The investment improves quality as well as increases production capacity of its AvantFlute SC product portfolio. Implementation of the investment is scheduled to start immediately with completion in the second quarter of 2018.

AvantFlute SC is Semi-Chemical fluting made from virgin fibre and is developed especially to endure demanding conditions. The production capacity of AvantFlute SC will increase by 15 000 tonnes once the investment is completed and fully implemented. The current annual production capacity at Heinola Fluting Mill is 300 000 tonnes of fluting.

In addition to facilitating a more competitive offer to the market, this investment also enables a lower carbon footprint at our Heinola Fluting Mill," says Gilles van Nieuwenhuyzen, EVP and head of Division Packaging Solutions.

The investment is included in Stora Enso's capital expenditure guidance, and it is expected to exceed the 20% return on operating capital (ROOC) target for the Packaging Solutions division.
