Espoo – November 09, 2026 -- Valmet will supply a complete board making line with automation and lifecycle services to one of its major customers in Asia, with start-up scheduled for 2029. The order was booked in Valmet's third-quarter 2026 orders received. The company did not disclose its value.
New line mirrors the board line announced earlier this year
The new line will be similar in concept to the board line announced earlier this year. Valmet has also delivered board and paper making lines to the same customer in the past. This lets both sides apply operational experience and best practices from existing installations.
The customer plans to expand premium-quality coated board production while improving production efficiency and operational performance.
Scope runs from stock preparation to reel and winders
The delivery covers the entire production process, from stock preparation to the board machine, including technologies from headboxes to reel and winders. Valmet complements the order with automation, digital services, paper machine clothing and spare parts.
Valmet sales chief points to lifecycle development
Markus Veikkola, Sales Director for China and Asia Pacific in Packaging and Paper Machines at Valmet, said that combining experience from earlier projects with process technology, automation and lifecycle expertise will support reliable, efficient production and continuous development of the line.
