Valmet will supply the 300th Valmet Paper Lab automated board and paper testing laboratory to Papierfabrik Palm's (Palm) Aalen-Neukochen mill. In total, Valmet will deliver three Valmet Paper Labs to the company's Descartes mill in France and Wörth and Aalen-Neukochen mills in Germany.

The systems will be delivered during the year 2020. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
