Raute Corporation has signed a contract worth EUR 93 million with Metsä Wood, part of Metsä Group, for the technology delivery of a new Kerto® LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) mill in Äänekoski, Finland. This order, being the biggest in Raute's history, is a proof of Raute's versatile expertise.
Metsä Wood is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of engineered wood products. Metsä Wood is building a new Kerto LVL mill in Äänekoski to increase its total Kerto LVL capacity by 50 percent. The mill’s annual production capacity is approximately 160,000 cubic meters and the production is expected to start in late 2026.
The order for Raute’s technology includes all main production processes from veneer peeling to LVL pressing. The lines are a complete solution compiled of the most modern automated R7-Series technologies. All lines are equipped with analyzers for grading and MillSIGHTS software for data capturing.
The ordered machinery and equipment will be delivered between Q1/2025 and Q1/2026. They will be manufactured at Raute’s production units in Lahti and Kajaani in Finland, and in the company’s partnership network.
