roduction at International Paper’s PM3 newsprint and kraft paper machine at


Kwidzyn in Poland was restarted at the end of June. The machine, with 115,000 ton


per year capacity, was damaged in a fire at the mill in March, since when it had been out of action. The company said that the damage was mainly related to electrical cabling, but not to the


systems for paper production. The Kwidzyn mill manufactures high-quality office paper, for use in printers and copiers; offset paper for the printing of reports, books, manuals, posters, advertisements, inserts and leaflets; coated paperboard for the manufacture of, for example, pharmaceutical packaging and luxury packaging for cosmetics or confectionery products; as well as newsprint made from 100 per cent recycled waste paper.


Novimpianti acquired by Andritz


Andritz has agreed to acquire Italy’s Novimpianti Drying Technology, which provides engineered equipment and services for air and energy systems to the paper industry’s leading manufacturers. Based in Lucca, Novimpianti is


owned by Novigroup Srl, has 40 employees and yearly sales of about €10 million. Andritz said the acquisition


strengthens its products in air and energy systems, mainly for tissue and paperboard machines. “We are very excited about this complementary acquisition that extends the Andritz


market coverage and product range in Tissue and Paper,” said Michael Pichler, manager of Andritz’s global paper and tissue division. Chief executive of Novimpianti


Pietro Saccomano, added: “The ambitions of Andritz to further grow in the tissue and paper business and their international position were decisive for the decision to hand over our company and know-how to them. The sale of Novimpianti will grant Andritz continuous growth in the area of air and energy systems based on the solid foundation we have built during the past decades.”
