Raute Corporation has received orders worth approximately EUR 13 million for the machinery and equipment for the expansion of UPM Plywood's mill in Otepää, Estonia.

The most important machinery and equipment included in the scope of delivery are veneer peeling, composing and patching lines, a veneer dryer and a plywood lay-up line.

The deal also includes machine vision and moisture analyzers and a management information system. The deliveries will take place during the spring and summer 2016. The machinery and equipment will be manufactured at Raute's Nastola, Shanghai and Kajaani plants.  

UPM Plywood is the leading plywood manufacturer in Europe with production, in addition to Finland, in Estonia and Russia. The machinery and equipment ordered from Raute are a part of the Otepää mill investment program, through which the annual capacity of the mill will be increased up to 90,000 cubic meters.

The Otepää mill will be expanded with new plywood production line including all machinery needed for veneer and plywood manufacturing. The expansion will be realised using mainly current buildings, infrastructure and resources. New production premises will be made about 8,000 m2 by connecting exisiting buildings together.

The investments made to Otepää total to about 40 million euros. The mill’s personnel will grow with about 40 persons along with the expansion.
