Norske Skog to Rebuild PM6 at Saugbrugs in Halden, Norway; Then Shut Down PM4 and PM5

Norske Skog has made a positive investment decision to rebuild paper machine 6 (PM6) at Norske Skog Saugbrugs in Halden. The investment of up to approximately NOK 850 million (approx. US$88.9 million) will enable flexible production of thermomechanical pulp-based kraftliner and SC magazine paper.

The rebuilt PM6 will have flexible production capacity of up to approximately 300,000 tonnes per year (tpy) of TMP-based kraftliner or approximately 230,000 tpy of SC magazine paper.

Compared with the existing PM4 (installed capacity of 100,000 tpy of SC paper) and PM5 (installed capacity of 110,000 tpy of SC paper) production lines, PM6 is expected to have a materially improved cost position through more efficient energy consumption, a streamlined production process and reduced staffing requirements.

Following start-up of PM6, production on PM4 and PM5 is planned to cease permanently without interruption of customer deliveries.
