Valmet delivers board machines to China’s third largest board manufacturer 

Valmet delivers two board machines to China for Shanying Paper.

Finnvera  provides a buyer credit guarantee for a loan of approximately EUR 56 million, granted by the German DZ BANK AG acting as sole arranger and lender to finance the export transaction.  

Shanying Paper is currently China's third largest board manufacturer. Finnvera has previously guaranteed Valmet's deliveries to the company's Huazhong unit in 2019. Now, Shanying is investing in the construction of two new high-quality packaging board production lines in Guangdong Province, southern China. The total  production capacity of the board lines is one million tons per year. Global demand for board is driven by increasing urbanization, growing e-commerce, declining use of plastics, and growing demand for food packaging.  

“We are proud to be partnering with Finnvera again in order to provide financing to Shanying for the delivery of Valmet’s state of the art technology and to accomplish to this financing with a sustainable footprint pursuant to international standards", comments DZ BANK.
