Metsä Strong is our strong bleached reinforcement softwood kraft pulp that has superior fibre length. This reinforcement pulp gives the paper added strength as well as runnability for papermaking and further processing.
Our reinforced pulp is produced in Rauma, Finland aligning with our responsible production practises.
All Metsä Strong pulp is made of high-quality Nordic pine (Pinus sylvestris) and spruce (Picea abies) sustainably sourced by Metsä Forest. Chips obtained from sawmills have higher fibre length. We produce Metsä Strong branded reinforcement pulp from sawmill chips with long fibres. Higher fibre length is associated with greater strength in the structure of the pulp. Consequently, compared to our Metsä Pine kraft pulp, our Metsä Strong reinforcement pulp plays a key role in contributing to the final paper product’s physical strength and durability. This pulp product has also lower tensile and higher tear strength than our Pine products.
We produce Metsä Strong at our high-capacity, state-of-the-art production facility in Rauma, Finland. The wood we use is traceable and the wood logs come from sustainably managed forests. Rauma sawmill is integrated with Metsä Fibre’s pulp mill on the same site, ensuring 100 per cent use of the wood material and resource efficiency. In Rauma, the sawmill chips are used in our pulp mill in the same facility as a raw material to produce Metsä Strong by kraft process. Metsä Strong pulp is efficiently delivered to customers around the globe directly from the port of Rauma, only three kilometres away from the facility.
