Valmet<\/a> has expanded its offering to the growing molded fiber market with the launch of Valmet 3D Fiber technology. The solution enables high-capacity, fast production of high-quality, three-dimensional fiber-based packaging, offering packaging producers a competitive end-to-end solution to meet the increasing demand for sustainable alternatives to plastic.<\/p>\n \u201cThe demand for molded fiber packaging solutions is growing, and we see strong opportunities to help our customers capture this growth. By combining strong expertise in fiber-based packaging and paper process technologies and automation, Valmet is able to offer packaging producers a competitive end-to-end solution. With Valmet 3D Fiber, we support our customers in seizing new business opportunities, strengthening their market position, and accelerating the shift toward fiber-based packaging,\u201d says Petri Rasinm\u00e4ki, Executive Vice President, Packaging and Paper at Valmet.<\/p>\n Valmet 3D Fiber technology and its end products offer Valmet\u2019s customers wider market opportunities than traditional wet molded fiber packaging technology. The technology enables the production of lightweight yet rigid end products, such as trays, plates and food packaging applications by using cellulose fibers. In addition, the process design allows efficient circulation of side streams and trim waste within the production, further improving overall process efficiency and supporting circular economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe strength of Valmet 3D Fiber lies in combining unique fiber layering technology, production capacity, and automation. Our technology enables customers to develop demanding three-dimensional packaging solutions, while maintaining high productivity and resource efficiency,\u201d says Juho Pyrr\u00f6, Head of Valmet 3D Fiber at Valmet.<\/p>\n The launch strengthens Valmet\u2019s strategic focus on continuous innovation together with customers and supports its ambition to lead the way towards circularity through solutions that promote renewable materials and resource efficiency. The development of Valmet 3D Fiber technology is based on long-term collaboration with Mets\u00e4 Group\u2019s innovation company, Mets\u00e4 Spring. Since 2020, Valmet and Mets\u00e4 Spring have been cooperating to develop a novel production concept that converts wood-based fibers into sustainable packaging solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
