Finnforest’s new birch plywood upgrading mill in Suolahti is to produce ultra-large panels with thermoplastic overlay for the transportation and concrete formwork industries.
The company claims the 6×2.2m maximum size panels will be the largest of their kind available on the market.
The company will promote the panels for use as walls in lorries, trailers and horse boxes as well as walls and floors in vans, both for exteriors and interiors.
Thermoplastic surfaces will be finished with different gloss levels and decorative figures.
Some e15m has been invested in upgrading the mill at Suolahti, including a new production hall, scarf-jointing line, hot press, flat laminating line and cutting lines.
