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 First Quarter 25 and First Quarter 2026.

They will be manufactured at Raute's production units in Lahti and Kajaani in Finland, and in the company's partnership network.
