Update on Mondi's machine glazed speciality kraft paper machine investment at
its Steti mill
Mondi has decided to postpone its €135 million investment in a new 90,000 tonne
per annum machine glazed speciality kraft paper machine at its Steti mill in
the Czech Republic.
Commenting on the decision, Peter Oswald, Mondi CEO, said, "We have decided to
postpone the machine glazed speciality kraft paper machine investment after a
careful review of market conditions. While the proposed new machine remains an
exciting investment opportunity, offering the lowest cost production of its
sort in Europe, recently announced industry capacity expansions are expected to
result in a market imbalance over the period in which the new machine was
planned to come on line.
There is no change to our €335 million investment in modernising the mill
including rebuilding the fibre lines, de-bottlenecking the existing packaging
paper machines and a new recovery boiler, which is progressing as planned."
