Etteplan awarded major engineering contracts by Valmet

- Etteplan will be Valmet’s main engineering partner for large pulp mill project in Asia.

Etteplan has been awarded several significant engineering contracts by pulp and paper machinery supplier Valmet. The largest contracts are related to the OKI Pulp & Paper Mills project in South Sumatra, Indonesia, announced earlier by Valmet.

The engineering contracts include the mechanics and pipework engineering of the planned pulp mill. The engineering work will be provided by Etteplan’s Finnish offices in Jyväskylä, Tampere, Turku and Pori and by the Kunshan office in China.

The contracts are the largest to date received from Valmet. They will have a substantial impact on the regions’ employment.

- The investment project that Valmet has won in Asia is an excellent token of the high level and worldwide recognition of Finnish engineering expertise. Etteplan has top-notch engineering expertise in Europe and in Asia, which supports the successful execution of our projects, says Hannu Tähkänen, Director, Valmet’s Wood and Pulp Handling Business Unit.

- The new orders received from Valmet bear testimony to the long-standing co-operation and trust between our companies. We are also particularly grateful for the employment-generating impact in our Jyväskylä, Tampere, Turku, Pori and Kunshan offices, says Veikko Lamminen, SVP, Operations Finland at Etteplan.
