Responsibly produced renewable and recyclable materials
Our five pulp mills are located in Finland and Uruguay with a combined annual production capacity of 5.8 million tonnes. Our new mill in central Uruguay started operations in April 2023. All our mills use the best European Union-defined available techniques (BAT) to ensure efficient, reliable and sustainable production. And instead of buying energy, pulp production generates bioenergy – making our mills energy sellers. In fact, UPM is the second largest generator of biomass based electricity in Europe.
A reliable, long-term partner
Our 1,800 or so highly skilled professionals worldwide are guided and supported by the UPM values – trust and be trusted; achieve together; renew with courage. Together we deliver what we promise: the right pulp for each need, with quality, delivery reliability and expertise our customers can trust. We want our customers to be able to focus on their core business, succeed, and plan for their future in the long term.
Inspired by the limitless opportunities offered by the bioeconomy
We have served our customers for over 100 years, continuously pushing for new ideas at the forefront of development. And we aim to continue the same way. We see a world where pulp is at the heart of the bioeconomy and the enabler of a more sustainable future. Pulp is a renewable and biodegradable raw material – a responsible alternative to many fossil-based materials. In addition, the residues and side streams of pulp production can be turned into new products such as biofuels, biochemicals and bioplastics. The way we see it, our business is all about making fibres for the future.
