A stepped investment programme at SCA‘s Tunadal sawmill and planing mill will start with a £2.5m spend to streamline production and increase productivity.
The improvement is expected to increase whitewood production capacity to more than 300,000m³ a year.
The decision to invest in Tunadal was taken after SCA investigated several options, including closing the site and moving to a greenfield location closer to its pulp and paper mills.
As a result it will close its wholesale operation, Nehim BV at Zeist, and establish a new sales office at the site.
