description

Metsä Board is a manufacturing company active in the paper and pulp industry. The company is a manufacturer of cartons made of forest fiber. The products are used for consumer and food products. In addition to the production of cartons, the company offers services related to technical analysis and design development. The company is most active in the European market. Metsä Board´s head office is located in Espoo, Finland.

In that UPM/Sappi arrangement, the same pattern emerges in Kymi. UPM produces pulp, and the new JV makes fine paper next door. Of course, the Kymi pulp mill can also dry its entire production and sell it to the market if local demand were to shrink.

When UPM sold its packaging material business to Billerud in 2012, the same pattern was also in Pietarsaari in addition to Tervasaari. In Pietarsaari, UPM produces pulp, and on the same plot, Billerud still makes kraft paper and sack paper.

Will we still see the acquisition of wood chip wagons? Wood chips have been transported to Kaukas more regularly from Kajaani and previously also from Aittaluoto, Pori=Seikku and Lieksa, using those gost wagons. And would VR have any surplus domestic traffic wagons, as some of those seem to be moving in Stora Enso’s logistics now. And will other forest companies also start acquiring their own wagons? Well, in Finnish, that means that with the forest companies’ own wagons, traction services can be acquired from others, not just VR. Currently, Fenniarail has about four locomotives tied up in UPM’s raw timber logistics daily, and ArcticRail has one. (Regarding the latter, news could soon be expected on whether an official agreement will follow the three-month pilot, which started around the turn of September/October.) And those so-called gost wagons currently in use could be used until the end of 2028. Why were alternative solutions demanded now?

This would probably not be a new situation for UPM, as Tervasaari’s PK7 was once sold to Billerud and continued operations on the same site for a few more years.

publish.ne.cision.com              ViewReleaseInStandardHtml                              UPM invests in domestic logistics UPM is replacing the foreign wagon capacity of its timber transports with domestic ones by purchasing raw timber wagons manufactured in Pieksämäki from VR FleetCare. The new wagon fleet will transport approximately one-third of UPM Forest’s raw timber transports by rail. The new fleet will gradually replace the foreign wagon fleet that UPM has used in Finland since 2023. The new wagons are SNPS wagons suitable for timber transport, which will be built at the Pieksämäki workshop. In connection with the wagon purchase, UPM is also buying the maintenance of the wagons from VR FleetCare.

Here are also Antti’s comments on this upcoming joint venture between UPM and Sappi.  UPM and Sappi intend to establish a joint venture for graphic papers. In our opinion, the arrangement is strategically sound, as it reduces the company’s dependence on a structurally declining paper market with weak prospects. A larger company also finds it easier to defend its efficiency in shrinking markets. However, UPM was unable to secure particularly favorable terms in the arrangement despite its market-leading position; instead, we believe it is a very balanced merger. The arrangement does not cause immediate changes to our forecasts for UPM’s coming years or our view of the company, as the share of paper businesses in the stock’s value is moderate, and the arrangement is not expected to be completed until the end of 2026. Furthermore, we do not consider the competition authorities’ positive view of the arrangement to be certain at this stage.                   Inderes              UPM ja Sappi ovat järjestelemässä graafisten paperien liiketoimintojaan...    UPM ja Sappi aikovat perustaa graafisten papereiden yhteisyrityksen. Mielestämme järjestely on strategisesti järkevä, sillä se vähentää yhtiön riippuvuutta rakenteellisesti laskevasta heikkojen näkymien paperimarkkinasta. Järjestely ei kuitekaan...

Thanks for the observations. I wondered about those figures and thought that UPM, based on them, would immediately reduce its investment in graphic paper in the arrangement. However, UPM brings about 3.7 Mt of annual capacity to the JV, while SAPPI brings about 2.0 Mt. It’s unlikely that Sappi’s mills are in much better shape than UPM’s. They also contribute a couple of single-machine sites, which are likely to be the first in the firing line. Of course, UPM has them too.
