Outokumpu is the exclusive supplier of stainless steel piping for an extensive modernization and expansion at the Mondi Syktyvkar pulp and paper mill complex in Russia, in a rare direct supply to an end user within the industry. The Group’s integrated pulp and paper mill complex near Syktyvkar, the capital of the Komi Republic of Russia some 1000km east of St. Petersburg, is one of the largest production sites within the country’s pulp and paper industry. Production capacity is 830,000tns of uncoated fine paper, newsprint and containerboard per year. The Mondi Syktyvkar rebuild requires approximately 1000tns of stainless steel piping, in diameters from 17mm to 1200mm and both in standard austenitic and in duplex grades. To make piping procurement the easiest and most efficient for themselves, Mondi and their main engineering consultant Pöyry have trusted the entire deal to Outokumpu as the exclusive supplier.
