Ilim
Group is at the final stage of installing the 220,000 tonne/yr uncoated
woodfree (UWF) paper PM 7 at its Koryazhma mill in western Russia.
The
firm intends to start trial runs on the PM, which it originally bought from
IP's Inverurie mill in the UK, in November.
In
addition, at the end of Q1, Ilim plans to launch coated woodfree (CWF) paper
production on the offline coating machine, the firm told RISI. The PM
will be able to manufacture up to 70,000 tonnes/yr of CWF paper.
