Reinventing Varkaus, Paper360º May/June 2017

When you visit Stora Enso Varkaus, Finland—the location of BM 3, a new 390,000 tpy virgin-fiber-based brown and white top containerboard machine—you know you are in a history-making place. Recently, the mill was reborn for the fourth time since 1921, this time to meet market needs for kraft liner and white top.

What’s evident immediately in Varkaus and the new containerboard facility is that old and new live side-by-side. Few towns and factories can claim design from architect Alvar Aalto, or such prominence and scale of industrial success over nearly a century. Yes, they have had serious setbacks in recent years, even the near closing of the mill. However, resurgence is happening again.
