Metso wins EU150 million order from Brazilian papermaker VCP
Metso Oyj, the world's largest maker of rock crushers and paper mills, won an order valued at 150 million euros ($200 million) to supply boilers and other gear to Votorantim Celulose e Papel SA, Brazil's third largest pulp and paper producer.
The equipment will be used at VCP's new Tres Lagoas pulp mill, which will start production in the first half of 2009, Helsinki-based Metso said today in a Hugin newswire release.
The order was placed by the Brazilian arm of Finnish engineering company Poeyry Oyj, which is building the plant. The mill will produce 1.25 million tons of eucalyptus pulp a year.
