Thursday 29. April 2010 - Metso has received an add-on order for containerboard making technology from Amcor Packaging (Australia) Pty Ltd as part of its new machine project for a containerboard line at its Botany Mill in Sydney, Australia.
The main order for a containerboard line scheduled to start up during the second half of 2011 was received from Amcor in 2008 and published on September 17, 2008. The value of the add-on order will not be disclosed. The most part of the order is included in Paper and Fiber Technology´s Q1 orders received and the automation package in Energy and Environmental Technologys Q1 orders received.
