The planned investment would be the largest single initiative in Suominen’s growth investment program announced in December 2014.
According to company’s initial plans, the new nonwovens manufacturing line would serve several higher value-adding end-use applications, and would be essential for the execution of Suominen’s growth strategy.
“I am extremely pleased to announce this major move in the execution of our growth strategy,” Nina Kopola, president at Suominen Corporation said.
He added, “Since we are still in the preparation phase of the investment project, several important decisions, including selection of machine suppliers, are still to be made.
“So, we cannot yet comment on the total investment, but can safely say that this constitutes the most significant single initiative in the €30–50 million investment program, we announced in December,” he observed. (AR)
