Metso Corporation's press release on June 25, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. EEST
Metso has been chosen as the main supplier of valve solutions for Södra Cell's
Värö pulp mill expansion in Sweden. The extensive valve delivery includes a
total of about 700 ball, segment and butterfly valves for on-off and control
applications from the Neles® and Jamesbury® product portfolios. The control
valves are equipped with Neles® ND9000 series intelligent valve controllers,
which have the capability for advanced performance follow-up. To enable good
service levels for Södra Cell's pulp mill and other flow control customers in
Sweden, Metso opens a new valve service center in the Gothenburg area. The new
service center will be operational in autumn 2015.

supplier of rebuilt and new equipment for the pulp mill expansion. On completion
of the project, Värö will be one of the world's largest softwood sulphate pulp
mills. The renewed pulp mill is scheduled to start up in the third quarter of
2016.
"Metso's strong valve solutions know-how for the pulp and paper industry is
unmatched and our global reference list is extensive. We are pleased that our
reliable valve solutions will also support Södra Cell's mill expansion by
maximizing pulp process availability and increasing efficiency. Based on our

competitiveness for them," emphasizes Tom Adolfsson, Sales and Services
Director, Sweden, Flow Control.
"Metso continuously improves its service capability and scope of offering to
help our customers ensure outstanding long-term process performance with high
reliability and safety. The new service center in the Gothenburg area

to meet customers' high-volume, fast-turnaround repair and service needs during
scheduled plant shutdowns," Adolfsson continues.
The value of the order is not disclosed. Part of this order is included in
