Pöyry has been awarded an engineering contract by SAICA Containerboard UK Ltd
for one of the world's most advanced recycled paper mills to be built at
Partington Wharfside, near Manchester, UK. The value of Pöyry's assignment is

engineering for the paper mill and stock preparation.

The new PM11 will produce 425 000 t/a of high performance lightweight fluting

per cent recycled fibre-based PM incorporates the best available boardmaking
technology including low energy and fresh water consumption. The new PM is
