Södra Cell Mönsterås – pulp producer and electricity provider

Södra Cell Mönsterås is Södra’s biggest pulp mill with a capacity of 750,000 tonnes per year of pulp, and was commissioned in 1958. Continual expansion and development have made the mill one of the most modern in the world today.

The mill is surrounded by forest raw materials in a forestry region close to Kalmar Sound, some 10 kilometres from Mönsterås. The location is strategic, close to to European highway 22, with Södra’s own harbour alongside the mill and the sawmill next door.

The mill’s core business is pulp production, but energy supplies are becoming increasingly important, not least as part of our ecocycle approach. In addition to electricity, the mill delivers district heating to the municipality of Mönsterås and to Södra’s sawmill in the area. Pellets are also produced from the bark, all based on biofuel.
