UPM is a responsible pulp producer and one of the world’s leading pulp suppliers. We offer a comprehensive set of hardwood and softwood pulp grades for demanding tissue, specialty paper, board, printing and writing paper and other innovative end-uses to the global market.   Our reliability as a pulp supplier is based on our modern and efficient mills, dynamic sales force, local technical support and service, and long-term logistics partners.   We operate five modern pulp mills, three in Finland and two in Uruguay as well as sustainable eucalyptus plantations in Uruguay. Our new Paso de los Toros pulp mill in Uruguay started operations in April 2023. With the new pulp mill, our annual production capacity has increased by over 50% from 3.7 to 5.8 million tonnes.   Our modern pulp mills are also an invaluable source of wood-based, renewable energy as well as by-products and residues, which are used for innovative bio-products.
