Finnforest, part of the Metsäliitto Group, invests 15 million euros to develop innovative birch plywood solutions for its industrial customers. It will build a birch plywood upgrading unit that will be ready for production by the beginning of 2008.

Modern birch plywood often competes for the same usages as light metals and composite materials thanks to its lightness, strength, firmness and hardiness. However, it is considerably cheaper than its competitors and more environmentally friendly at the same time.
