Helsinki, Finland, 18 February 2011 -- Metso will supply installation and commissioning services to Amcor Packaging (Australia) Pty Ltd as part of its new machine project for a containerboard line at its Botany mill in Sydney, Australia. The value of the order will not be disclosed. The order is included in Paper and Fiber Technology’s first quarter 2011 orders received.

The main order for the containerboard line was received from Amcor in 2008 and an add-on order was received in 2010.

The new order will comprise the installation of the containerboard machine equipment for the line and supervision services related to commissioning, testing, and start-up, as well as training services. The installation and services package will complement Metso’s extended scope of supply to Amcor and strengthen the project implementation.

The Botany paper mill will generate high-quality recycled paper from waste collected throughout the Sydney area. It will produce paper-based products across a wider range of weights and create packaging that is lighter, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly.
