Ortviken's industrial site is equipped with a well-developed infrastructure, such as water purification, steam supply, electricity and compressed air. The site also has a strategic location, as SCA can offer logistics solutions worldwide. Two modern facilities has being built on the site by Renewcell and SCA Pulp. Furthermore Ortviken supplies district heating to Sundsvall´s municipality corresponding to the heating of 10,000 households.
SCA is now investing SEK 1.45 billion in the production of thermomechanical pulp, CTMP. The new plant will be ready for operation at the beginning of 2023. At that time, the current CTMP- production will be shut down at Östrand's pulp mill.
Production at the new plant will be increased from the current 90,000 tonnes to 300,000 tons. Construction and groundwork are already in full swing and the CTMP facility is being installed in the existing facilities. New chip handling and a new building for drainage, drying and baling are being built.
