Stora Enso has ordered the bulk of the machinery for an LVL project planned in Varkaus, Finland from Finnish machinery and plant producer Raute. Raute said that the order had a total volume of about €30m and includes the complete LVL production line with a peeling line, drying, veneer sorting and splicing, gluing, pre-press, press, order picking and packaging. Raute said that the 8 x 80 ft three-opening press has a capacity of about 100,000 m³ per year. Stora Enso said that the mill would reach full capacity by 2019. Start-up is scheduled for some time in the second quarter of 2016.
