BillerudKorsnäs and the Norwegian forest owner group Viken Skog are planning to join forces to explore the possibilities of forming a joint venture for the production of bleached chemi-thermomechanical pulp (BCTMP) at the Follum plant in Hønefoss owned by the Viken Skog group (Hønefoss). The study process could be completed in the first half of 2023. The plan is to create a modern production line with a capacity of up to 200,000 tonnes of pulp per year. The Follum plant has the necessary infrastructure for the creation of such a production line, and it is also located in a forested region with well-developed transport infrastructure.
