SCA to stop PM5 at Ortviken paper mill in Sundsvall

SCA stops paper machine 5 at Ortviken paper mill in Sundsvall, Sweden. PM5 produced uncoated publication paper for newpapers, magazines and commercial print and had a capacity of 255,000 tonnes per annum. The paper machine started production in the year 1985.

PM5 will now be dismantled in order to make room for the company Renewcell and its recycling of textile fibre, which is expected to come on stream on the Ortviken site in 2022.

The remaining two paper machines at the Ortviken paper mill will stop production during the 1Q 2021, as SCA ceases to produce publication paper.
