The industry seems to be quite settled in its own ways and rather slow to react to a changing operational environment. The draft of the National Innovation Agenda talks very much about responding to change. As the nation must be capable of change, also the former star industries must find it in themselves to make the transition as well. The Agenda draft paper notes that there is a number of “low productivity branches of trade and industry and the public sector” which have not yet systematically utilised innovation activity in the development of operations and productivity. (No reason to name names.) Now, however, the voices in the industry call out in unison: even radical thinking is required, if the sector is to survive at all. The Finnish Forest Cluster has answered this call to arms by raising research programmes that target three important areas. First, there are the intelligent, resource-efficient production technologies. The aim is to develop radically new production systems that make the best use of resources and are energy-efficient to boot. This way capital intensiveness is reduced and the entire cluster’s efficiency and flexibility increased. Second programme revolves developing a NextGen biorefinery that utilises wood diversely. In addition to present products, this bio processing plant of the future will separate materials, chemicals and energy products from wood – thus creating new business operations. Third programme deals with the customer solutions for the future. Under this research programme, attractive, customer-oriented and competitive products and service concepts will be developed, to meet e.g. the needs of printed communications and packaging, with also new product fields such as chemical and energy products emerging. Besides research projects, there are also new “frontier forts” in service of the new green wave. One such venture is the establishment of Finnish Centre for Nanocellulosic Technologies in Otaniemi, Espoo, in March 2008. Founded by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Helsinki University of Technology TKK and UPM, the Centre aims to create new applications for cellulose as a raw material, substance and end product. Cellulose-based nanofibres can be used to alter the structure of the material and create products that better correspond to future market needs. Could the green, mean, money-making machine become small-for-all? Sami J. Anteroinen

6 papertec 2009 Forest industry on the lookout for new faraway market areas The growing markets in China and Latin America have tremendous potential, but also some risks for the forest industry. This was one of the main messages of Finpro’s ‘New Markets for the Forest Industry Cluster’ seminar in September 2008 in Helsinki. Photos: Betamet Oy

The Finnish company Betamet Oy has provided machinery for Botnia’s Fray Bentos paper mill project in Uruguay. G lobal paper consumption grew by an average of 9 million tons per year in 1990–2007. It reached 394 million tons in 2007, with China leading the growth. Even so, the forest industry may have cause for concern. “The average level of demand for paper products is clearly decreasing,” notes Mr. Esko Uutela, consultant for RISI (the information office of the international forest industry) speaking at Finpro’s seminar. CHINA TO BECOME THE LARGEST MARKET The global propensity for the consumption of paper and board is declining when measured in proportion to gross domestic product (GDP). Particularly the demand for graphical paper grades is stagnating and starting to decline in the western world. In the United States, the demand for newspaper-grade printing paper is constantly decreasing. Even the prospects for other printing paper types are not reassuring. In Europe, this development appears to materialise only after a delay of a few years. The demand for printing paper in developing markets in the years to come is not expected to grow quite in the same way as everyone previously predicted. The demand for newspaper-grade printing paper in particular is not growing in the developing market areas in the same way as it did in the western countries in bygone days – whereas the relatively well-increasing demand for cardboard and softtissue materials is continuing around the world. “China is the driving force for global paper and board. Their raw material markets and developments there can directly be seen in the global markets,” Uutela stated. According to Mr. Uutela, the production rates of the forest industry are growing quite rapidly in Asia – particularly in China – until the year 2020 at least. “Within a short while, China will become the largest market area for forest industry products. In addition, China is credited with the largest share of the forthcoming paper machine investments,” Uutela said. EUROPE EXPORTS RECYCLABLE PAPER China has the largest paper machines in the world, but a large number of the machines in that country are obsolete. There is a constant stream of news of new Chinese investments. The country resorts to large-scale recovered paper imports from North America. “Global consumption of recovered paper will grow at a rate of some three per cent per year from 199 million tons in 2006 to 303 million tons in 2020,” Uutela mentioned. “North American use of recovered paper will decline. Europe’s consumption will grow by a few million tons.” Then again, China’s consumption of recovered paper will grow by 61 million tons by the year 2020: from 42 million to 103 million tons. According to Mr. Uutela, no end is to be seen in the growth of Chinese imports of recovered paper. In 2007, imports reached 22.6 million tons. However, price changes of recovered paper cause variations from month to month. Imports of recycled paper from Europe to China are also on the increase. “North America continues to be main source of Chinese imports of recovered paper but Europe already accounts for almost one-third of the total,” Uutela specified. Mr. Uutela noted that approximately 45 per cent of the Chinese imports of recycled paper came from North America in 2007. There have also been imports from Japan and other Asian countries. “In Western Europe, the collection of recyclable paper exceeds the demand for it. Even though European pulp manufacturing companies have invested in factories utilising recyclable paper as raw material, Western Europe will remain predominantly an exporter of recyclable paper.” TIMBER TO CHINA Imports of recyclable paper notwithstanding, the Chinese industry will need large amounts of imported timber. China is importing quite a large amount of timber from Russia, in particular for the needs of the mechanical wood industry. Mr. Ilpo Sarikka, Finpro’s area manager for China and East Asia, does not expect Russia’s increasing export taxes to impede the timber flow from Siberia to China. There is no doubt that the Chinese saw mills have a need for imported timber. What’s more, the state of China yields them new tax reliefs, to counterbalance the increases in Russian taxes. “China has the largest market for construction business in the world: two billion square metres of floor space annually”, Mr. Sarikka emphasised. papertec 2009 7

RISKY BUSINESS While it is recommended to take a share of the growing markets, a degree of prior consideration is suggested. The role of traditional exports is diminishing while the significance of local presence and cooperative networks is being emphasised. “In China, for instance, it might be an idea to found a joint company with with a local operator – but such enterprises entail an element of risk,” noted Mr. Kalevi Kyyrönen from the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In many developing countries, a company being sold to a foreign operator may have binding contracts with the suppliers of raw materials and distribution systems of the other companies in the joint network. Consequently, the company acquired by the foreign operator may end up being ‘milked’ by the closely-knit local network, so that it may be nearly impossible to make the company profitable. Therefore, caution and common sense are called for when the acquisition of foreign companies is being considered. LATIN AMERICA HAS FORESTRY POTENTIAL Latin America also has potential for the forest industry cluster. “The world’s pulp production is growing rapidly in Latin America, particularly in Brazil,” said Mr. Matti Landin from Finpro’s Trade Center in São Paolo in Brazil. The plantation and production facilities affiliated to the Finnish forest industry conglomerates are located largely in Brazil (Stora Enso), but also in Uruguay (Botnia). According to Mr. Landin, Stora Enso has very large expansion plans for next 5 to 10 years. The sales of Finnish companies in the Brazilian market total approximately 400 to 800 million euros annually. “In Chile, the consumption of wood nowadays is 32 million cubic metres,” noted Ms. Heta Pyhälahti, Head of Trade Center of Finpro in Chile. According to her, future availability of wood in forest plantations will provide opportunities for the forest industry both in Chile and in Uruguay. In Argentina, sustainable forestry has political challenges, but the country has a strong interest to develop the forestry sector. ? MERJA KIHL ARI MONONEN 8 papertec 2009

Bahia Pulp in Brazil acquired new technology The Bahia Pulp mill in Brazil is located in Camaçari, approximately 50 kilometres from Salvador, the capital of the Bahia province. Within a few years, the mill has increased its pulp production capacity manyfold. Several Finnish companies have contributed to this development by providing a large number of machines and instruments to the mill’s extension project. 10 papertec 2009 Photos: StoraEnso Transporting eucalyptus in Bahia, Brazil.

Entrance to Bahia Pulp’s production facility in Camaçari in Brazil. ahia Pulp is one of the nine pulp mills Bin the province of Bahia in Brazil. Built in the Petrochemical Complex of Camaçari, Bahia Pulp S.A. was formed by the joining of the pulp mill of Bacell (which belonged by the Klabin Group) with the forestry company Copener. In October 2003, Sateri International bought both companies. Sateri International itself is owned by RGM International Group. RGM (Raja Garuda Mas) has its headquarters in Singapore and is owned by an Indonesian-Chinese businessman, Mr. Sukanto Tanoto. RGM International Group’s primary business interests include pulp and paper; crude palm oil and businesses related to it; oil and gas; viscose fibre; and engineering, procurement and construction. BAHIA PULP’S OWNER HAS INTERNATIONAL BACKGROUND Sateri International has business interests in viscose fibre and dissolving pulp production. Sateri Oy, Finland, and Sateri (Jiangxi) Chemical Fibre, China, are part of the Sateri International Group. The Group is one of the largest integrated viscose and dissolving pulp producers in the world. Klabin S.A. is a leading Brazilian company in the field of integrated production 12 papertec 2009 of market pulp, paper and paper products. Incidentally, another company in RGM International Group is APRIL with which the UPM-Kymmene conglomerate has worked in close cooperation. APRIL owns viscose manufacturing plants linked to its Northern Sumatra pulp mill in Indonesia and Säteri Fibres Oy in Valkeakoski, Finland. Säteri was purchased from Finnish Kemira in June 1997. EXPANSION WAS PLANNED CAREFULLY At the time of purchase, Sateri International was already planning to expand the Bahia Pulp enterprise, broadending the scale of production for the unit. In 2008, the company consolidated its plans for expansion and completed its second industrial line. This project raised installed production capacity from 115,000 tons per year to 465,000 tons. Construction of the expansion started in 2005. The total cost of the expansion was US$ 466.14 million. At the end of 2005, Bahia Pulp announced that it has ordered a new recovery boiler, for the operation of the new line. Upon installation, the burning capacity of solid material at Bahia Pulp increased Photo: Sateri International Group from one thousand to three thousand tons a day. The boiler was taken into use in the summer of 2007. In March 2006, Metso Paper supplied a pulping line for Bahia Pulp. The new fibre line started up in the third quarter of 2007. Metso Paper is part of Metso, a global engineering and technology corporation operating in the pulp and paper industry, rock and minerals processing, the energy industry and selected other industries. The scope of Metso Paper’s delivery will cover a complete new line from cooking to ready reeled or baled pulp. The value of this type of fiber lines ranges from 50 to 100 million euros, depending of the scope of delivery and the production capacity. SOLUBLE CELLULOSE FROM EUCALYPTUS PLANTATIONS Bahia Pulp owns a total of 153,000 hectares of eucalyptus plantations in 21 municipalities, including permanent preservation and legal reserve areas. The eucalyptus plantations are situated on average only 100 kilometres from the Bahia Pulp plant. The company’s forest plantations have been described as highly productive. Wood can be harvested from the cultivated forests every six to seven years, and the trees grow to more than thirty metres. The main market areas of the company are Europe, America and Asia. The company has a coordinating office in Alagoinhas. The eucalyptus plantations serve Bahia Pulp’s production of bleached dissolving pulp based on ecalyptus urophylla as the raw material. Company directors have issued statements that the expansion of the plantations area will continue ‘in order to match the production increase’. The Bahia Pulp mill produces soluble cellulose, under the trademark Soluccel. It is used as a raw material in the production of a wide range of products including textile filaments, food, pharmaceutical products, special cellulose products, cosmetics, cigarette manufacturing, and acetate tow. After the expansion, the mill is also able to produce specialty pulp for high-end market segments. The process for manufacturing high purity cellulose begins with the preparation of the wood, which is chopped in

Ponsse Oy’s recent delivery to Bahia Pulp included 44 harvester heads. to chips. These wood chips are cooked to separate the cellulose fibers from the other components of the wood. They then go through a process of washing and bleaching, before being dried and packed into bales or onto spools. One reason for expanding Bahia Pulp’s production range to special dissolving pulp was that there was a market vacancy. Between 2003 and 2005, International Paper and Weyerhaeuser closed down three American mills dedicated to the production of special dissolving pulp. ORDERS FOR FORESTRY MACHINES AND CONSISTENCY TRANSMITTERS Representatives of Bahia Pulp and the Finnish forestry machine manufacturer Ponsse Oy met in August 2006 when Ponsse prod14 papertec 2009 ucts were tested in the company’s reforestation sites. A contract for the supply of numerous forestry machines for mechanised wood harvesting activities, plus spare parts, was signed. “The total package includes 44 harvester heads, 22 excavators for forestry work in flat areas, and a number of forwarders,” says Mr. Claudio Costa, Ponsse’s representative in Brazil. “The deliveries started in September 2007. Service for the machines is included in the contract and will be handled by our service partner.” Additionally, the agreement covers personnel training and spare parts. Ponsse training services were customised in accordance with the needs of Bahia Pulp. Photo: Ponsse Oyj “Both mechanics and operators will receive training. The training will include practicing with a simulator, as well as practical training in the field.” “The next Ponsse delivery to Bahia Pulp is scheduled for January 2009,” Costa mentions. Other Finnish companies, too, have provided the Bahia Pulp mill with new technology. In the summer of 2007, Kajaani Process Measurements Ltd (KPM) supplied consistency transmitters for the Bahia Pulp expansion project. The delivery was destined for the new fibre line and included 12 KC/5 Rotating Consistency Transmitters. ? MERJA KIHL ARI MONONEN

Hokuetsu Paper Mills started up a huge paper machine in Niigata Metso Paper has supplied the largest paper making line ever built in Japan. It was started up at Hokuetsu Paper Mills Ltd.’s Niigata production facility in July 2008. The official inauguration ceremony took place on 3rd September. The new line will increase Niigata mill’s annual production capacity by close to 40 percent. Photos: Metso Paper 16 papertec 2009 B eing of the largest paper mills in Japan, the Niigata mill is the flagship of Hokuetsu Paper Mills Ltd. It produces printing paper and white paperboard using state-of-the-art facilities. The mill is utilising a highly efficient production process from manufacture of pulp to finished paper products. Hokuetsu’s new PM 9 paper machine will considerably increase Niigata mill’s production capacity.
Page 17
Established in 1907 to make paperboard from rice, Hokuetsu Paper Mills Ltd. has expanded its product offering to include coated and specialty printing papers. Hokuetsu is also a major producer of white boxboard. Most of the company’s sales come from customers in Japan. Hokuetsu’s four mills are located in Niigata, Ichikawa, Hitachinaka, and Nagaoka. The company also cultivates timberland and builds related timber handling machinery. When the huge PM 9 paper machine project at Hokuetsu Paper’s Niigata mill was started in 2007, the company was celebrating its 100th year of operations. A LONG LINE OF FINNISH SUPPLIES Niigata mill’s PM 9 is Metso Paper’s fourth paper machine delivery to Hokuetsu Paper since 1986. Metso Paper is part of Metso, a global engineering and technology corporation with net sales of over 6 billion euros in 2007. The corporation operates in the pulp and paper industry, rock and minerals processing, the energy industry and selected other industries. Metso’s predecessor Valmet received the order for PM 6 paper machine from Hokuetsu Paper some 20 years ago. Later on, PM 7 and PM 8 followed, and Metso Paper was the main supplier in these investments. All of these three paper machines are so-called coated woodfree machines. Over the years, Hokuetsu Paper has become the leading manufacturer of coated papers in Japan. Its quality reputation is very high. Hokuetsu upgraded its PM 3 and PM 7 paper machines in the summer of 2006 to improve its production capacity and paper quality. papertec 2009 17
Page 18
PRODUCTION CAPACITY ADDED BY 400,000 TONS The PM 9 papermaking line, in operation since the summer of 2008, represents the very latest papermaking technology. It includes Metso’s stock preparation equipment, an 1,600 metres-per-minute OptiConcept paper machine, air systems, plus auxiliary and automation systems. “The new paper machine is 10.7 metres wide. It is by far Metso’s largest delivery to Japan and, at the same time, the largest paper making line ever built in Japan,” notes Mr. Teuvo Suviola, Project Manager for Paper and Board Machines division of Metso Paper, Inc. “The project management and training for the supplied equipment, as well as support for installation and start-up, were included in the delivery.” Now that the new paper making line is in full operation, Hokuetsu Paper Mills Ltd. is expected to become stronger than ever on the demanding markets of Japan and Asia. The new production line will add close to 400,000 tons per year to the Niigata mill’s existing annual capacity of 1,000,000 tons of coated paper. This means more than 10 per cent of the total Japanese domestic production of printing and writing paper. Hokuetsu Paper will use the new production line to produce, in particular, printing paper for magazines and fliers. DEMAND FOR COATED PAPER ON THE INCREASE IN JAPAN Before the inauguration of the new paper making line, the sales of Hokuetsu Paper Mills Ltd. had been in the order of US$ 1.3 billion annually. From the management point of view, the main reason for investing in a new, mammoth-sized line was simple: to be able to better compete in quality and cost, at home and abroad. The total demand on the Japanese printing and writing paper market has remained stable during the last few years. Still, the demand for various types of coated paper has been on the increase, especially for the lightweight coated types. Therefore, there is a vacancy on the market for an increase in domestic production of high-quality grades. 18 papertec 2009 A traditional part of the inauguration ceremonies was breaking of sake barrels. Another option would be to resort to increasing paper imports to Japan. Hokuetsu Paper is determined to successfully compete with imports now that the giant PM 9 line is in use. Initially, Hokuetsu Paper Mills Ltd. planned not to put the new paper making line into full production before the fiscal year 2011. The company expects to be able to raise its paper exports via the nearby Niigata East Port by an additional amount of 5,000 tons per month. PAPER MANUFACTURERS FACE TOUGH COMPETITION Competition in the field of paper manufacturing in Japan has been quite fierce in recent years. In mid-2006, Hokuetsu Paper rejected an unsolicited US$ 1.2 billion acquisition bid – it has been called a hostile takeover bid – by its rival Oji Paper, Japan’s largest paper manufacturer. Shortly before this tender-offer bid, Oji Paper had unsuccessfully proposed a merger between the two companies. Apparently, Oji Paper had wanted to close its older production facilities and move a part of its own paper manufacturing capacity to Hokuetsu’s Niigata mill. After these takeover attempts, Hokuetsu Paper strengthened its position by selling a 24 per cent stake of its own shares to another one of its rivals, Mitsubishi Corporation (owner of Mitsubishi Paper Mills). This made Mitsubishi the company’s largest shareholder. When even other shareholders – including yet another rival Nippon Paper Group Inc. with a 8.9 per cent stake of the company, plus the smaller investors Hokuetsu Bank and Daishi Bank which both had 2 per cent stakes – refused to back Oji Paper’s buyout attempt, Oji eventually gave up on its takeover plans in September 2006. Shortly afterwards, in December 2006, Hokuetsu Paper further ensured its competitive edge by reaching an agreement on a major strategic alliance with Nippon Paper. The agreement encompasses production and logistics, the procurement of raw materials, and technology. The ultimate aim for both companies was to raise their competitiveness worldwide. Hokuetsu Paper has also considered similar business tieups with other paper manufacturers, for instance with Kye Sung Paper Co. in South Korea. ? MERJA KIHL ARI MONONEN

Six-month environmental performance review shows that Fray Bentos mill performs to standards required O n July 10, 2008, IFC (International Finance Corporation) publicly released the first environmental monitoring report for Botnia’s Fray Bentos pulp mill in Uruguay since the mill began operating in November 2007. The assessment of operating performance was prepared by EcoMetrix Incorporated, an independent environmental consulting firm. The report finds that the mill is performing to the air and water quality standards projected in the Cumulative Impact Study and Environmental Impact Assessment, as required by IFC, and well within the limits established by the environmental permits issued by the Uruguayan regulator, DINAMA. This first six-month report, and the two annual reports that will follow at the end of 2008 and 2009, are required under provisions of the Environmental and Social Action Plan agreed between Botnia and IFC as a condition for IFC’s financing of the mill. ?

FOREST TECH 2008: Innovations and success require knowledge plus very smart moves For the renewal of business, innovations are a key factor. This is why innovations and renewal had been chosen as main themes for the Forest Tech conference that was held in Helsinki in November 2008. T o derive commercial applications from innovations – in the forest industry or elsewhere – you need to have dexterity, passion, and abilities to create new markets. Additionally, quite a bit of understanding of the market environment is called for, from mapping the international trends to in-depth knowledge of the local market, right up to its customers and competition structures. The international Forest Tech 2008 conference at Helsinki Fair Centre focused on renewal through early-stage technologies. R&D PERSONNEL IN KEY POSITION The conference looked into the subject of innovation from the points of view of the forest industry and R&D: how breakthrough innovations are created, how they survive the evalution chain of the company, and what kind of competence is needed to implement an innovative environment in companies, universities and research centres. “A successful innovation is formed by the ability to create markets, combined with an in-depth understanding of the market environment. Furthermore, 20 papertec 2009 “Wide-open dialogue in innovative companies requires independent sparring partners with industry expertise,” Paul Strebel from IMD emphasised.
Page 21
new ideas are needed. The passion of the product developers is the starting point for everything and it has a crucial impact on the outcome of the innovative process,” notes Ms. Maria Sipilä, Senior Consultant for Spinverse, the main organiser of the conference. She previously held a leading position in Nokia Mobile Phones. In addition to Spinverse, the conference’s organisers included the companies UPM, Metso, Kemira, Metsäklusteri Oy, and KCL, working in – or in close cooperation with – the forest industry. FOCUSING ON QUALITY AND NEW INNOVATIONS Mr. Pauli Hänninen, Executive Vice President for UPM Finland, lectured on the subject of R&D as the driving force for company renewal. “Operational environment in the forest industry has become very challenging and the industry is facing new structural changes. At the same time, more and better R&D work is needed as a driver for company renewal,” Hänninen suggested. “The development should be focused on two main targets: the competitiveness of current products in both quality and cost efficiency point of view; and totally new, innovative products.” Even radical innovations are needed. “Remarkable advantages to customers have to be offered along with new products that perform better in the customer’s process than those being used today.” “In the future, it will be more important than ever to create networks for research and development, including public-private partnership,” Hänninen reminded. NEW IDEAS FROM UNEXPECTED SOURCES “Even in forest industry, innovations can focus on such matters as the product itself, new applications for the product, production methods, logistics, services, or business models,” noted professor Yrjö Neuvo, President of ARTEMIS European Joint Technology Initiative. Neuvo lectured at Forest Tech 2008 on the power of innovation. “Creating an innovative environment is always a compromise between several conflicting parameters,” Neuvo determined. “It is the right balance between tight target setting and freedom to think outside the box. It is about learning and communication but also hard work. It is about top knowledge in your own field of specialisation but also broad understanding of wider perspectives.” According to Neuvo, the metaphor of a jazz band nicely describes many of the key characteristics of a successful innovation environment. “Seemingly unconnected research breakthroughs start to form meaningful chains of advances where intensity of research gradually increases and eventually the results start to be of industrial relevance.” In Neuvo’s view, most innovations do not stem directly from basic research – rather the contrary. “An increasing number of innovations are nowadays emerging from novel business models and services, possibly tied with technology. Some of these innovations seem trivial to an engineer but still generate subtantial revenues,” Neuvo maintained. LEARNING FROM PAST SUCCESSES At the conference, Ms. Eva Färnstrand – Chairperson of the Forest department of IVA (Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences) – gave a Swedish perspective to innovation in the forest industry. “It is a time of change and time for change in the forest industry, currently facing many new challenges,” Färnstrand said. According to Färnstrand, the prime asset in this situation is the intellectual capital. It must be treated with utmost care. “Several new findings, regarding products, technologies and practices may contain a future breakthrough for this sector. How can this potential be realised effectively? Innovation is converting knowledge into profitable business. The proof is in the market.” “There are many examples of successful new technologies that have reached their intented markets or are very close. We can learn from them.” As one example of promising new innovations, Ms. Färnstrand mentioned wooden high-rise residential buildings that have only recently sprouted in Sweden. “Several projects in the pipeline still need a lot of work, capital and support to find their targeted customers. Can we pave the way from idea to commercial product through closer intreaction betweeen academic researchers and industry? What bridges must be built to coordinate all the competencies needed for success?” Färnstrand listed the crucial questions. EXPERTISE HELPS IN AVOIDING CATASTROPHES Professor Paul Strebel from IMD, a global business school based in Switzerland, pondered on how to make smart big moves when innovations are being converted into business within companies. He took the current financial crisis as the starting point. “What did the banks involved in the financial meltdown have in common? In many cases, only one or two of 11 or 12 board members in the world’s largest financial institutions knew anything at all about financial markets – and they often were older members who had not been in the markets for a while,” Strebel astounded the audience. “Then again, the companies that made profit in the same period had many more board members with expertise – not in all, but in many cases. Some of the companies involved in the financial crisis no longer exist, they have been taken over by others. This is a pretty dramatic picture.” Strebel had a clear idea where some of the other problems of the companies had been. “The major disasters in the recent and ongoing credit meltdown, at banks like CitiGroup, UBS, Merrill Lynch, Lehman, and Bear, can be traced back to three factors: a firm controlled by an stubborn dominant personality; a docile top team; and boards with a glaring lack of financial expertise.” According to Strebel’s experience, successful companies often begin to believe their own stories of immortality. This leads to an excess of self-confidence. It gets worse if the company is led by a dompapertec 2009 21

“Change is natural but rarely pleasant. How can the forest based sector adopt to the changing environment for a better future?” Eva Färnstrand from IVA asked. inant CEO who only has yes-men on the board. “You cannot make big decisions with small egos. Researchers – successful and ambitious people – have higher opinions of themselves than others have of them. That is something you have to be aware of when you make investments or innovations,” Strebel pointed out. ACCEPT FEEDBACK – OR ACCEPT FAILURE Professor Strebel took Nokia as an example of a company that had made both smart and less smart big decisions. “In 1990’s, Nokia expanded into consumer electronics. It was a very crowded field. At the time, more questions should have been asked.” “Now, smart moves were made 22 papertec 2009 when the company decided to restructure. When Nokia was ready, it beat the competition. They realized mobile phones should be seen as a consumer product, rather than a technology product.” “In 2000, Nokia was very successful. Then they ran into some problems. They decided, ‘We are so good, we will go into gaming and multimedia.’ It didn’t really work.” “Then they got successful again, after focusing back on the mobile phone markets. When innovations are based on real competitive advantage, they will grow.” Going from innovations into business is in Strebel’s view clearly difficult: 9 out of 10 failures, 1 out of 10 successes. “One of the most common features of the successes is that the people behind them have some experience of that particular field of business. It’s not just about finding opportunities – it’s about finding opportunities that fit the company.” “The key question for all companies is: who are your sparring partners? Are you really willing to get real feedback? You need ambition, but you also need criticism.” “You cannot succeed if your top personnel is too dominant and unable to handle criticism, unfortunately. We need to make moves, but they have to be controlled. We need to remember that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” Strebel emphasised. ? MERJA KIHL ARI MONONEN

VTT is developing solutions for printed intelligence “Printed intelligence can take the form of holographic features on a transparent plastic foil,” Research Professor Harri Kopola says. 24 papertec 2009 Photos: VTT Printed intelligence – also known as printed electronics – is the term for a relatively new technology that defines the printing of different functionalities or electronics on common materials such as paper, plastic, and textile. Standard printing techniques and processes can be used. In recent years, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has actively engaged in research work in the field of printed intelligence. Some practical applications are already emerging. A t VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, the Center for Printed Intelligence was established in August 2006 as a strategic development initative. Before this, technology research had been underway since the late 1990’s in VTT’s technology teams, on the subjects of developing printed electronics, printed sensors and indicators, hybrid media, etc. The point was to look into the possibility of cost-effective manufacturing by making use of traditional printing technologies. “We wanted to experiment with the production of functional applications, either electronic, biotechnic or chemical. We also wanted to take a cross-technological approach by combining chemistry, biotechnology and electronics with paper technology know-how, in order to create new kinds of functional applications,” Research Professor Harri Kopola recounts.

Printed organic solar cell module. NEW APPLICATIONS FOR PRINTED INTELLIGENCE AND ELECTRONICS Research Professor Kopola notes that there are opportunities for new innovations at the cross sections of the tradional electronics industry and the traditional paper and pulp industry. “The new solutions are not expected to replace electronics products currently being manufactured but to find new functions and capabilities for the products. You can combine elements from different basic technologies to create new applications, such as a disposable sensor, or a hygienic towel or indicator with biomolecules capable of identifying ‘bugs’,” Kopola explains. “At VTT, we think the term ‘printed electronics’ does not sufficiently bring out the wider business and applications potential. Emerging printed components enable new types of end products and solutions beyond electronics as we know and understand it today. We prefer to use the term ‘printed intelligence’. Some market researchers talk about ‘disposable electronics’ when they mean approximately the same thing.” According to Research Professor Kopola, it is possible to print functionalities and electronics circuits on many kinds of materials: paper, plastic, textile, metal foil – almost any flexible material that can be run through the printing press. Traditional printing techniques can be applied for the printing. COOPERATION IN RESEARCH AND COMMERCIALISATION VTT has established a broad collaboration network to both research institutions and industry. Much of the collaborations have been initiated in projects funded publicly by Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation and the European Union. Some of these projects lead to further product oriented development. One example of VTT’s co-operation in printed intelligence with specialty chemical company Ciba which is currently being acquired by BASF. papertec 2009 25
Page 26
VTT and Ciba are involved in a joint collaborative, with the aim of developing new applications for printed intelligence. VTT and Ciba have signed a long-term contract for cooperation in the field of printed intelligence. The cooperation covers new kinds of functionalies to be printed onto packaging materials. Another field of cooperation is in areas of printed diagnostics applications. The development targets will include new types of functional devices and components that can be mass-produced – such as solar cells, holograms, organic LEDs (light emitting diodes), sensors, and photovoltaic diodes. The aim is to develop commercial products and applications that can speed up the creation of new markets for printed intelligence, for instance in the fields of electronics, diagnostics, and packaging. VTT is helping Ciba to further develop its product range of printed intelligence, particularly with regard to materials, technologies, processes, services, and systems. The cooperation is based on socalled collaborative open innovation, with the intention of making use of the joint 26 papertec 2009 research results even by means of mutual IPR licensing (IPR = intellectual property rights) and possible cooperation spinoff activities. “Further collaboration parties are involved and sought after in these developments. However, much of VTT’s work with its partners in printed intelligence is still based on the principles of confidentiality for the early nature of these developments,” Kopola adds. CROSS-TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS NEEDED The Center for Printed Intelligence will develop, in parallel, the materials, components and processes of printed intelligence, paving way for commercial applications and markets. “It is nice to see that our cooperation with other research organisations is taking further steps towards becoming a joint effort seeking new applications and market areas. We have a common goal and we are advancing towards it in the spirit of open innovation,” Research Professor Kopola says. VTT’s future R&D cooperation with its research partners will take advantage of VTT’s versatile know-how in the fields of printing, packaging, chemistry, biochemistry, nanotechnology, information technologies, electronics, optics, and diagnostics. The R&D units of other research organisations will also take part in the development work. Worldwide, various kinds of new solutions for printed intelligence are currently being developed. At the present time, markets already exist for such applications as electronic paper and partially printed RFID tags. FURTHER APPLICATIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT “Two examples of emerging breakthrough innovations that seem promising are bioactive paper and light-emitting foil that can be produced by printing processes. The latter is base on OLED (organic LED) technology. It can even be applied for making light-emitting wallpaper,” Research Professor Kopola notes. VTT has also developed various lowcost indicator technologies for consumer packages. Printing inks containing certain reactive substances indicating, for example, oxygen, temperature or humidity – and suitable for printing onto fibre as well as to plastic materials – have been produced. “These innovations have business potential for use in various food, drug and medical product packages – thoroughout the product and packaging value chains all the way to consumer uses.” “The indicators can also be integrated into printed codes allowing more advanced read out mechanisms and interconnections to on-line functionality and services. This too can provide extra convenience features for consumers.” Between the years 2011 and 2015, new applications in the field of printed intelligence will probably include such products as printed signage and displays and embedded power sources with printed fuel cells and solar cells. In addition, various autonomous systems – containing power source, logic, and display – are to be expected on the market. ? MERJA KIHL ARI MONONEN

Water technologies gaining in significance Water is an essential raw material in the pulp and paper manufacturing processes. Kemira – a Finnish chemicals company and one of the main organisers of the Forest Tech 2008 Conference – is focusing significant research efforts on water technology innovations. W hile speaking at the Forest Tech 2008 conference in Helsinki, the Chief Executive Officer of Kemira, Harri Kerminen, asserted that Kemira is looking for innovative concepts for chemicals and applications to optimise pulp and paper manufacturing processes. “Our vision is that Kemira will be number one in water and fibre management chemistry. One of today’s key topics is to find opportunities through new technology programs,” Kerminen emphasised. IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER USAGE Dr. Johan Grön, Kemira’s Executive Vice President for Technology, lectured on water efficiency in pulp and paper manufacturing. “With scarcity of water and other resources worldwide, water efficiency is now a significant issue. Improved re-usage of water reduces manufacturing costs and leads to higher efficiencies,” Dr. Grön noted. In the course of 30 years, things have already improved in the paper industry. The usage of water in paper manufacturing has been reduced from 150 to 200 cubic metres per ton of paper to approximately 16 to 40 cubic metres per ton. “There is still room for improvement. Potential of water management combined with biodegradable chemistry with control systems and processes is one way that helps,” Dr. Grön continued. Mr. Xinshu Wang, Head of Kemira’s Asia Technology Centre, gave an overview of Kemira’s current R&D efforts in Asia. Photo: Spinverse “Kemira’s new chain of regional research centres will have resources for worldwide R&D projects,” Mr. Xinshu Wang says. “With a new R&D centre established in Shanghai, China, product development and research activities can focus on the specific needs of the Asia-Pacific region,” Wang pointed out. Kemira’s Shanghai office now has 10 employees, but the number will be increased to 30 by the year 2010. ?

RUNNING AN ADVANCED PAPER MILL IN INDONESIA - Interview with Mill Manager of Riau Paper We had the opportunity to hear the views of the mill manager of APRIL Group’s Riau Andalan Pulp & Paper (RAPP) complex in Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia. The mill is one of the biggest uncoated fine paper mills in the world, for paper production. Kerinci mill is totally integrated. The pulp production reaches over 2 million tons, of which 25 % is used for paper production. The rest of the pulp is sold to non integrated mills all over the world. 75 % of the paper mill production is sheeted in the converting plant and rest is sold as customer rolls. The entire paper mill is run by less than 800 people including logistics activities. M ill Manager states that In terms of paper making operations and systems supporting the operations, the mill is one of the most, if not the most automated and advanced mill in the world. The facts to support the statement is impressive. RAPP has a brand new PM2 paper machine, and there has not been any expertise or money spared in equipping it with the best available processes. Also 10 years old, PM1 has been frequently upgraded to increase its productivity. All the supporting machinery for the paper machines and converting plant has been carefully evaluated; cut-size and folio lines operate on state-of-the-art technology. A brand new leading edge AWA Warehouse is the link connecting paper machines, converting plant and finished goods warehouse. The senior management’s and the owner’s vision is for sustainable operations in Indonesia, and therefore want to have the best people and best equipment available. The biggest advantage that they get from automation, according to the Mill 28 papertec 2009 Manager, is consistency of quality and production. He has seen that “the more automation there is, the better you can control your finished products, there will be less interruptions in operation, more paper can be produced, and automation also saves labor costs”. The Kerinci mill uses a lot of resources on teaching and training employees. They have a vision to maintain the workforce updated to the latest technology, because it also motivates the employees. The attractiveness of a modern process is also important while recruiting personnel. He envisions that there will be even more automation in future. For survival in pulp and paper industry a company needs a competitive edge, which can be either in operations, in fiber supply, in energy, in labor and in the market where it operates. If the company is lucky it can start with a competitive edge in operation by having a brand new paper machine. He argues that a company in today’s world must have at least three sharp edges. In North America they have only one edge ‘given’, the markets. The ones that AWA warehouse with automated stacker crane.

Automated Sorting Shuttle. are surviving in States have a special edge; low cost energy from own hydro plants and some in fiber by using recycled paper. Generally, production facilities are not very modern. He thinks that the European companies saw these matters ahead and started to improve their level of automation, which gives more efficient operation advantage in tight markets. Old mills in Europe were modernised years ago. In Asia many mills are surrounded by fiber, energy and labor costs are typically low and the markets are nearby. RAPP is purely family owned, and according to him it’s being managed differently than public company, and the company will continue investing to keep their edges sharp. Additionally RAPP produces paper and pulp in an environmentally friendly way. According to its strategy, RAPP’s Kerinci mill has widened the utilisation of automation also to materials handling, and the fully automated AWA Warehouse is 30 papertec 2009 the key in roll handling. He points out that they don’t have 40–50 clamp trucks running around in a warehouse. Clamp trucks are associated with damages, mistakes and errors that can happen with all the people and manual activities with rolls. “AWA was concluded to be most suitable for us,” said the Production Manager of the new paper machine. They studied different cases and ended up ordering from AWA. Whether the investment in automated warehousing was something they would do again becomes answered clearly by Mill Manager: “Yes it is”. He has detected significant differences between companies regarding attitude towards automation. There were some visitors from a major company in the industry during the start-up of the warehousing system asking, what was being built. He told that they are building automated warehouse that will take care customer rolls and be intermediate storage for converting plant rolls. The visitors didn’t believe in automated roll handling and they don’t support any automated roll handling facilities in their mills. There are different philosophies. Mill Manager comes from newsprint business where no automated warehouses in the business, but when entering this kind of business he realised the meaning of automated warehouse. This mill was the first one, which has an automated warehouse and there are no chances for human errors. “I think that automated roll handling after the paper machine is the way to go, I’m sold on that one, no questions on that,” he said. He continues “It’s just more efficient than not doing it, when you evaluate costs with benefits, the benefits are way higher”. The biggest benefits are: Rolls are never damaged, labour required for logistic is much less and the right products are sent to the customer. ?

POWERFLUTE GOING STRONG Paper mill upgrade delivers improved quality Powerflute Oyj is the provider of premium quality semi chemical fluting for corrugated packaging. In technical terms, Powerflute Oyj is a holding company which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Savon Sellu Oy, operates a semi-chemical paper mill near Kuopio, Finland. CEO Juha Koukka is confident about the strong future of Powerflute. 32 papertec 2009 D ue to high quality raw materials and advanced production methods, the company is able to create fluting that makes packaging exceptionally moist and crush resilient as well as hygienic and clean. Powerflute Oyj specialises in manufacturing a high-quality grade of fluting called Nordic semi-chem fluting, known as Powerflute®. The fluting is made from birch wood sourced from Finland and is used mainly to manufacture boxes for fresh and frozen produce. Other applications include packaging of i.e. electrical goods and agricultural products as well as heavy duty packaging. The Savon Sellu mill has the ISO 14001, ISO 22000 and EMAS certificates and its fluting complies with FDA and BfR food packaging norms. INTERNATIONAL REACH Powerflute Oyj was listed in the London Stock Exchange in May 2007. That same year Savon Sellu manufactured a record 262,800 tons of fluting, while the output in 2006 was 251,400 tons. In 2008 Powerflute Oyj was listed in the OMX First North. Currently the company employs 187 people. On 18 December 2008, Powerflute Oyj announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire assets of Papierfabrik Scheufelen GmbH & Co KG, a manufacturer of coated woodfree paper. Powerflute Savon Sellu’s key customers comprise corrugated board and packaging manufacturers including leading manufacturers in the sector. Europe has been – and still is – the main market, but for years Powerflute has had regular customers in Asia, Latin America, Middle East and Africa. In 2006 the company commenced sales also to the US market. Ulla Eränummi-Sirén, VP Sales and Marketing, is very pleased with the latest quality improvement of Powerflute®. BANKING ON QUALITY Juha Koukka, CEO of Savon Sellu Oy, says that the company is determined to keep making continuous improvement in performance; and he also knows that the company has a winner in its hands: “We have the top product of its own segment, we have been able to improve our productivity and cost competitiveness and – first and foremost – we have highly motivated, skilful personnel,” Koukka lists. If one looks at fruit transport, for instance, Powerflute® plays an essential role in making sure that the boxes in the logistics chain will not be compromised in any way during the entire process. It helps the box to absorb the blows and to withstand the changes in temperature and humidity throughout the chain. Due to 100% birch fibre and specialised manufacturing process, Powerflute®
Page 33
offers outstanding moisture resistance and unbeatable stacking strength, says Ulla Eränummi-Sirén, Vice President (Sales and Marketing) of Savon Sellu Oy. “In demanding box applications, such as agricultural boxes, Nordic semi chemical fluting should be used. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and still today collapsed corrugated boxes that have poor stackability can be found in the warehouses of the retailers,” EränummiSirén points out. “This is a dangerous path as corrugated boxes are competing with plastic boxes. The corrugated box is an excellent choice if only ‘fit-for-purpose’ thinking is applied,” she adds. KEY INVESTMENT AT THE MILL In May 2008, the investment of € 4.4 million in a new head-box for the paper machine at Savon Sellu mill was successfully completed during the planned annual maintenance shutdown. The initial results from the investment are very encouraging and include a marked improvement in manufacturing tolerances and paper strength which results in better performance on Powerflute’s customers’ production lines and during the entire supply chain of packed goods. ”The investment has significantly improved issues relating to quality standards and stiffness,” Koukka reports, adding that there are less stoppages at paper machine, while the customers are able to enjoy a wider operating window at their corrugators. The upgraded Powerflute® has further improved stiffness values and this has resulted in raw material savings at the customer end which have been very welcomed in the present global economic situation. “The customers are satisfied with improved processing properties and better quality,” Koukka says, pointing out that the key idea is to make “more durable packages from less fibre”. The replaced head-box had certainly served its time, having been installed in 1968. Koukka reports that the investment was a key part of a long-term investment strategy which aims to lift the product quality and production capacity to an unprecedented level. “For the head-box, the investment decision was made in the spring of 2007,” the CEO reveals. Forest industry icon Dermot Smurfit, Powerflute Chairman of the Board, has characterised the installation of the new head-box as “a major capital project” which was successfully completed on time and within budget. SECURING WOOD SUPPLY In 2008 Savon Sellu also acted on a strategic decision and took wood procurePowerflute Savon Sellu is located by the lake Kallavesi in Kuopio, Finland. ment into its own hands. Powerflute Oyj and Myllykoski Corporation announced in February 2008 that they are establishing a joint venture to manage their wood procurement. In April, the new company was named Harvestia Oy. The company started its operations in the summer. Harvestia Oy handles wood procurement to Myllykoski Paper (paper mill in Anjalankoski), 50 % of wood supply to Sunila (chemical pulp mill) and to Powerflute’s Savon Sellu mill manufacturing Nordic semi chemical fluting. The mills’ combined wood demand is approximately 2.5 million cubic meters per year. ”The new company – which focuses on procurement of especially fibre wood has been received well in the market,” Juha Koukka comments the launch. GUARDING CONTINUITY The corporate partners believe that the new company is the best alternative to ensure continuity of future wood supply for Myllykoski Paper, Sunila and Savon Sellu. Through Harvestia, the owners aim to create a channel to forest owners’ organisations and forest owners as well as independent sawmills. The main role of Harvestia is to manage the parent companies’ wood procurement and to create long-term co-operation with its partners. ? papertec 2009 33

UPM’s paper mill in Rauma outsourced its laboratory work “Nab Labs Ltd hired 25 UPM’s former laboratory employees in 2006,” Mikko Sainio recounts. The forest industry in Finland – and also elsewhere in Europe – is undergoing a process of structural change. Several forest industry production facilities have been closed down, and many paper manufacturers are preparing for new corporate arrangements. Among other options, the forest industry companies have contemplated increasing their partnership operations. UPM’s Rauma mill made its decision on outsourcing in 2006. 34 papertec 2009
Page 35
A ccording to estimates made by the forest industry, it might be feasible to outsource up to approximately 80 per cent of the industry’s maintenance activities. The forest industry’s own personnel would handle the remaining 20 per cent, consisting mainly of control-related work. So far, most of the outsourcing schemes of the forest industry have focused on the maintenance of production plants. CHALLENGING OUTSOURCING TASK In Rauma in south-western Finland, the forest industry company UPM has been a forerunner in taking outsourcing quite a bit further. UPM’s Rauma production plant is one of the largest facilities in the world manufacturing printing paper for magazines, with an annual production capacity of 1,250,000 tons. All of UPM Rauma plant’s cleaning work, plus a large portion of the maintenance operations, has been outsourced. What’s more, the plant’s laboratory services related to R&D and operational control were largely outsourced in 2006. No other paper manufacturer in Finland had previously resorted to this kind of extensive outsourcing. The background for this arrangement was that originally the company wanted to reduce the number of its laboratory personnel in Rauma substantially. Even dismissals were considered. The general idea was to concentrate the plant’s own resources on the core process of paper manufacturing, as far as it was possible to do so. After further deliberation and six months of negotiations, UPM decided to keep the part of its laboratory workforce that was directly involved in the Rauma plant’s operational control – such as online measurements – in uninterrupted shifts. However, the 25 people in the day laboratory were transferred from UPM’s payroll to that of a separate laboratory company, Nab Labs Ltd, on 1st September 2006. REASSIGNMENTS FOR LAB PERSONNEL Nab Labs had previous history of smallerscale cooperation with UPM’s Rauma production plant. The company was formed in February 2003 when three Finnish laboratory companies with a wide variety of industrial experience merged into a joint company. “This was the first time that the paper manufacturing industry outsourced its laboratory services to such an extent,” says Mr. Mikko Sainio, Nab Labs Ltd’s Vice President for Business Development. Before the outsourcing took place, Nab Labs Ltd had had one laboratory of its own in the town of Rauma. Afterwards, the company started to operate also in the laboratory premises that had been formerly occupied by UPM’s own laboratory. Another practical result of the outsourcing contract was that the number of Nab Labs Ltd’s laboratory personnel in Rauma was doubled. Therefore, some inhouse rearrangements and reassignments were necessary. “We arranged the work schedules and responsibilities in such a way that mutually supportive kinds of tasks were to be handled in one place and by one team,” Sainio elaborates. “Consequently, some of our original teams were re-shuffled, and the work responsibilities of quite a few people were altered. Overall, however, such changes caused no particular problems within the company.” WORRIES FOR THE WORKFORCE Traditionally, outsourcing in the forest industry in Finland has been relatively rare. This has, at least in part, been due to strict regulatory agreements signed by the industry and the paper workers’ trade union. In recent years, however, some of these agreements have been re-written, so that outsourcing has become a possibility in a large number of the industry’s production facilities in Finland. For the personnel at UPM, the outsourcing was at least initially a fearsome process. It raised questions of what it would be like to work for a new employer, of possible lack of appreciation by the former employer after a long career, and of possible future outsourcing processes being contemplated by the management. Also, the research and development section at UPM’s Rauma facility was reportedly worried that their future work might get quite complicated as their analytical support was changed from an in-house operation to an external service. According to Mr. Sainio, however, the overall process of outsourcing at UPM – as well as the reassignation of tasks that followed – was handled fairly smoothly “The reservations that there may initially have been have now changed into an open and friendly cooperation,” Sainio says. LOOKING FOR SYNERGY Sainio asserts that there were mutual benefits for both companies to be gained from the process of outsourcing UPM’s Rauma facility’s laboratory services. “I expect that by outsourcing, UPM was able to reach its objectives of cost-efficiency for the plant’s operations. We have received positive feedback from UPM in the course of the two years of outsourcing partnership.” “From their point of view, UPM mostly benefited from the fact that some of the plant’s fixed costs became variable costs in their books. This – together with a marked decrease in overall laboratory costs – can be seen as a significant advantage,” Sainio evaluates. “As to Nab Labs Ltd, we have achieved the synergy benefits that we had originally planned on. We have also been able to make use of the operational methods and ideas that we had when we negotiated with UPM on the practical side of outsourcing.” Still, within the last two years, other forest industry companies have not decided to go as far with outsourcing as UPM’s Rauma facility. “Then again, some chemical factories – notably Eka Chemicals and Arizona Chemical, both based in Oulu – have gone ahead with quite similar, extensive outsourcing,” Sainio mentions. FORECAST: GLOBAL BUSINESS INCREASING In forest industry, too, smaller contracts for outsourced services have been signed recently. “Still, I wish more Finnish industrial companies considered comprehensive papertec 2009 35

We’ve seen that it works – why leave this stone unturned in the quest of operational efficiency? Naturally, it would also enable us to further develop Nab Labs Ltd’s operational efficiency,” Sainio says. Nab Labs Ltd currently has laboratories in six locations, only in Finland. “Nab Labs is pretty much a company that concentrates on domestic opera36 papertec 2009 tions. However, we regularly handle field measurements outside of Finland, and also analyse samples that have been sent to our laboratories from a number of different countries.” In the future, acquiring office or laboratory space abroad for Nab Labs Ltd is by no means out of the question. Some discussions on taking such steps have already been ongoing. “After all, the forest industry is international business. The leading service providers also need to become international,” notes Mr. Sainio. ? MERJA KIHL ARI MONONEN

VARAOKE INTERNATIONAL OY: Quality comes first in second-hand The current financial crisis is putting investments on hold, and the pulp & paper industry is not immune to this global virus. Many players who originally wanted to buy a brand new paper machine, for instance, are now opting for second-hand machinery. This, in turn, increases the demand for used paper machines – especially those in top form. V araoke International Oy is a Finnish company which trades used paper and pulp machines, product lines and wood handling machines. Harri Aikio, Managing Director and founder of the company, says that Finnish paper machines are a hot commodity globally since they feature excellent maintenance programmes. “The machines are in great condition and they’ve gone through required modernisation processes to meet current standards,” Aikio says, adding that Finnish paper machines can easily be put to good use anywhere in the world. COLLABORATION WITH MILLS Varaoke International has very good relationships with several paper and pulp mills in Finland and abroad. The mills often contact Varaoke directly, offering machines to buy or sell. Varaoke is responsible for supplying the machines to the end users. A major part of the operations comes from customers who tell Varaoke their needs and the Finnish experts find the right machines or product lines. According to Aikio, the number of machines shipped abroad varies from year to year, but typically on an annual level 2-4 machines are shipped out. Mostly the deliveries include smaller units – such as cut38 papertec 2009 Mr. Harri Aikio (on the left) negotiating about shipments in Hamburg with Stella people and Eurabia (Mr. Urs Fenner). ters, rewinders, refiners, pumps etc.– rather than entire paper machines. The machines are sent just about anywhere: for instance, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, Russia, the Baltic countries, Middle-East and some South American countries are on the delivery list. TOTAL PACKAGE Varaoke International works from project to project according to the situation. “Nowadays, almost every customer asks for a more comprehensive package,” Aikio reveals. Quite often this involves dismantling, packing, loading, transportation and installing – including supervising, commissioning and training/technology transfer. For Varaoke, creating and maintaining international contacts is vital. The company took another important step in this area in the spring 2008, as PIDA (Paper Industry Dealers Association) approved Varaoke International for its membership. Aikio says that membership should help enhance the company’s international approach: “Networking, for us, has many benefits: it is important to be a part of one of the biggest organisations in the industry and share knowledge and expertise with others.” ?

Savings with Core Renewal P aper mills can achieve considerable savings in their core costs by using renewed cores. Core renewal is especially easy to implement in fine paper and board mills with internal sheet cutting operations. Core renewal can be an integrated part of the finishing process where released cores are collected from sheet cutters and renewed cores are returned either to the storage or directly to the winder. Core renewal can also be outsourced into an external service provider, which will handle collecting, renewing and delivering of the cores. Consequently, cores can also be recollected from various customers or external sheet cutting mills. Oy Core Handling Ltd is the only company which offers both the core renewal machines and complete core renewing service. Our long experience in operating core renewal services guarantees the best know-how in this technology. ? More information: www.corehandling.com
