Rottneros Mill is increasing
its CTMP capacity
Rottneros Mill in Sunne, Värmland
Rottneros Bruk focuses on the development and production of chemically pretreated thermomechanical pulp (CTMP). The pulp is used in the production of cardboard, packaging, tissue paper, filters and fiber cement.
We are expanding for increased capacity and production, from 120,000 tons per year to 165,000 tons per year.
In 2024, a solar cell park and a battery warehouse will be installed as part of the group's endeavor to increase the share of renewable electricity, but also to reduce exposure to the electricity market.
The mill has produced mechanical pulp since 1887.
Spring by Rottneros is our brand name för CTMP.
95% of the wood is fully utilised in production.
Production of CTMP in 2023 amounted to 122,100 tons, which is a new annual record and an increase of about 1 percent compared to the previous year.
Emissions of fossil CO2 decreased by 20% during 2023 compared to the previous year. More than two thirds of the energy is fossil-free. 95% of the wood can be recovered in CTMP production.
There are extensive investments of 180 MSEK in an expansion of the CTMP line. The increase in capacity and production is estimated at 165,000 tonnes of pulp per year, from autumn 2024.
CTMP Mechanical pulp
Rottneros CTMP offers high purity, strength and rigidity with low weight – valuable properties for cartonboard manufacturers. CTMP can be customised for a number of different special applications where freeness, porosity or bleaching level is crucial.
How the mill’s CTMP is used
Cartonboard
Mechanical pulp makes it possible to produce a thicker, and therefore more rigid cartonboard from the same amount of raw material.
Special applications
Mechanical pulp can be customised for a number of different special applications where freeness, porosity or bleaching level is crucial.
Pulp for fibre trays
The raw material for our own water molded fiber trays consists of 100% mechanical pulp from pure forests.
A tribute to the groundwood line - an important part of our mill’s history
Watch the film about Rottneros Mill’s groundwood line which started up in 1887 and was closed down in December 2022, after 135 years of production, the last of its kind in Sweden in recent years.
The main reasons for the closure were long-term negative prospects for printing paper and deterioration in the electricity market.
Participating in the film are former employees who share memories of how the timber was floated and transported via ropeway.
