ESPOO, Finland, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Valmet has been selected to supply another complete board making line with automation and lifecycle services to one of its major customers in Asia. Building on the companies' long-term cooperation and the experience from previous deliveries, the new investment will further support the customer's ambitions to expand premium-quality coated board production while improving production efficiency and operational performance. Valmet has previously delivered board and paper making lines to the same customer. This new line will be similar in concept to the board line announced earlier this year, enabling the customer and Valmet to build on operational experience and best practices from their existing cooperation.

"By combining the experience gained from previous projects with leading process technology, automation, and lifecycle expertise, we can ensure reliable and efficient production and the continuous development of the line throughout its lifecycle. This provides a strong foundation for the customer's long-term production and quality targets," says Markus Veikkola, Sales Director, China and Asia Pacific, Packaging and Paper Machines, Valmet.

The delivery includes a complete board making line, covering the entire production process from stock preparation to the board machine, including technologies from headboxes to reel and winders. To support reliable performance throughout the lifecycle of the investment, the order is complemented with automation, digital services, paper machine clothing, and spare parts. The start-up of the machine is scheduled for 2029.

The order was included in Valmet's orders received for the third quarter of 2026. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
