Moscow. Jan 20, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Metso and Kemira have made a three-year research and development partnership agreement, by which Kemira will handle the chemical control of Metso's pilot paper machines. The aim is to combine Metso's competence in paper and board machine processes, automation and technology with Kemira's know-how in water and fibre chemistry to produce optimal overall solutions for pulp and paper industry customers, Kemira said in a press release received by Lesprom Network."Ever closer collaboration is needed in the pulp and paper industry cluster. This relates to paper machine, equipment and manufacturing clothing, overall chemical solutions and strong investment into research and development. Ultimately, impulses for renewal come from consumers, to whose needs the cluster's printing houses and graphic designers are very sensitive," explains Kemira's EVP of R&D and Technology Johan Grön, evaluating the chain of cooperation. Metso's Paper Technology Centre in Jyväskylä, Finland develops comprehensive solutions for paper industry customers, with a seamless integration of paper and board machine process, technology automation and board chemistry competence. The strong global research and development network possessed by Metso and Kemira covers all of the main pulp and paper industry markets: Europe, North America, South America and Asia.
