Metso was recently awarded a contract to supply Daio Paper Corporation with a rebuild of their hardwood kraft fiber line at their Mishima mill, located on Shikuko island, in Japan. Start-up of the rebuilt line is scheduled for the end of 2012. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
Metso will supply main equipment for the rebuild of the Mishima mill's fiber line.

Metso's scope of delivery will include a new screening room, an oxygen delignification stage and five latest-generation TwinRoll Evolution wash presses. Two of the presses will be installed as brown stock washers, two as post-oxygen washers and one as a D-stage washer.
