“Expanding our warehouse capacity gives us the op- portunity to increase our common stock program. It brings more reliability to the customers, and the fore- casting is easier. It’s just more efficient.” Metsä Board’s Americas operation is gradually transitioning its customers more toward the use of common stock. In the meantime, the company will continue to emphasize supply chain security in an everchanging global market. “Our logistics team understands the importance of continual supply,” Nellis said. “We have fantastic part- ners that have allowed us to fare better than most over the last few years.” •
KEMI MILL
HUSUM MILL
Metsä Group’s bioproduct mill in Kemi, Finland, is scheduled to be completed in 2023. Each year it will produce 1.5 million metric tons (1.65 million tons) of pulp. Part of it will be used to make white kraftliner for customers who require premium image reproduction and high production performance.
Metsä Board is increasing its folding boxboard capacity from 400,000 metric tons (440,924 tons) a year to 600,000 metric tons (661,386 tons) in Husum, Sweden. The customers who will benefit most from this larger production are those who depend on quality packaging for food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Up to four ships monthly arrive in Baltimore from Metsä Board’s mills in Finland and Sweden to provide quick service for its customers.
