Espoo, Finland, 2011-05-17 12:32 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Metsae Tissue, part of the Metsaeliitto Group and a leading tissue and cooking
paper supplier Europe-wide, is finalising the full rebuild of paper machine 5
and related facilities in Dueren, Germany. The machine will be dedicated to the
production of baking and cooking papers marketed under the SAGA brand.
Last November, the company acquired the paper machine, related real estate and
infrastructure assets from M-Real.
'The re-engineering project has been successful and the first batches of paper
have been produced. During the spring, five converting lines have been
installed, too, and production is expected to reach full speed by July this
year,' says Michael Paeckner, VP, Regional Operations. Despite the transfer of
converting to Dueren, the company will also continue producing baking and
cooking base paper at the current location in Maenttae, Finland.
The company's SAGA brand represents a completely new way of preparing food. The
SAGA assortment comprises versatile food-grade papers as well as cooking
accessories for professional kitchens and home cooks. The SAGA concept is
continuously being developed and tested in co-operation with chefs around the
world.
In order to meet the strict quality requirements for food contact papers, the
Dueren mill has adopted all necessary quality and hygiene management systems. In
line with the Group's strong emphasis on sustainable production and supply, the
operations have successfully passed the PEFC and FSC Chain of Custody audits.
'With enhanced production facilities located in close proximity to our
customers, we will be able to offer our clientele improved service as well as
look into new avenues of innovation for SAGA,' states Raija Moro, SVP, Baking
and Cooking.
