Metsä Board Kemi, Paper manufacturing facility in Kemi, Finland
Metsä Board Kemi is a corrugated board mill located where the Kemijoki river meets the Bothnian Sea. The facility operates as part of an integrated system, receiving pulp and energy from the adjacent bioproduct mill next door.
The mill started operations in 1971 and expanded over the decades to include specialized production lines. These developments established it as a major production center in northern Finland.
The facility maintains strong connections with Northern European forestry traditions through its sustainable wood sourcing practices and local workforce engagement.
The facility sits right on the coast and is easily accessible from the city of Kemi. Keep in mind that this is an active industrial operation, so visitor access may be limited.
The mill's Polar Queen linerboard machine manufactures premium kraftliner products, reaching fifteen million tonnes of total production in December 2022.
