Mondi Group confirmed today that it has completed the final phase of modernising its Syktyvkar mill in Russia, following the commissioning of the recovery boiler and rebuilt container board machine this week.


An earlier phase of the project completed during November 2008 saw 60 000 tonnes of uncoated wood free production delivered to the market. Construction of the project commenced in April 2008 and completion has been on schedule.

The modernised mill not only enhances the Group's low cost position, but allows for additional volume of Uncoated Fine Paper and Containerboard to be supplied to the high growth domestic Russian market.
