ÅF wins order for Korsnäs in Gävle

ÅF has recently been awarded an order by Korsnäs AB worth approximately SEK 11 million. The order involves consulting resources in the areas of project management, process engineering, electrical engineering, instrumentation, automation, lay-out and mechanical engineering.

Most of the work will be carried out from ÅF's offices in Gävle, Norrköping and Karlstad.

The assignment involves project engineering and planning work in conjunction with a major investment that Korsnäs is making in a new evaporation plant and in rebuilding kraft recovery boilers at its paper and board mill in Gävle.

The investments will lead to major energy savings for the plant. Work will be ongoing until the new evaporation plant is scheduled to be brought online during 2010.
