The Board of Directors of Valmet has decided to continue the share based incentive program for Valmet's key employees approved in December 2014. The aim of the program is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in order to increase the value of the company, to commit the key employees to Valmet, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on holding the company's shares.

The program approved in 2014 includes three discretionary periods, which are the calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017. The Board of Directors of Valmet shall decide on the performance criteria and targets in the beginning of each discretionary period. The potential reward of the program from the discretionary period 2016 is based on EBITA % improvement and orders received growth % of the stable business, that is, the Services and Automation business lines. The potential reward of the plan from the discretionary period 2016 will be paid partly as Valmet shares and partly in cash in 2017. The proportion to be paid in cash is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key employee. As a rule, no reward is paid, if the key employee's employment or service ends before the reward payment.

As part of the share based incentive program members of the Valmet Executive Team shall have a possibility to receive a matching share reward for the discretionary period 2016 provided that he or she owns or acquires Valmet shares up to a number determined by the Board of Directors by December 31, 2016. Reward receipt is tied to the continued employment or service of the Valmet Executive Team member upon reward payment.

The reward of the plan may not exceed 120 percent of the key employee's annual total base salary. The shares paid as reward may not be transferred during the restriction period, which will end two years from the end of the discretionary period. Should a key employee's employment or service end during the restriction period, as a rule, he or she must gratuitously return the shares given as reward to Valmet.

The plan is directed to approximately 80 people. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan are in total an approximate maximum of 850,000 shares in Valmet.

A Valmet-delivered TwinRoll Evolution press was successfully installed at Södra Cell's Mönsterås pulp mill in Sweden during the yearly shutdown in the end of September. This is the 85th TwinRoll Evolution press Valmet has delivered since the model was launched in 2009.

"The new wash press will play an important role in our process to secure a grade of pulp that meets customer requirements and to achieve improved availability," says Olof Hellström, one of Södra's project managers.

Fast commissioning

Lars Harrysson, project leader at Södra, said that the installation and commissioning were highly successful, and that the schedule was maintained throughout the project. "Everything has worked out, and everyone has done their utmost to get the new press installed and running," says Harrysson.

"The shutdown in Mönsterås was well planned which created the best possible conditions and enabled the efficient installation. Slightly more than one day after the start-up the press was up and running in nominal production of soft wood pulp, with a dryness that was well above the promised. The training was an important piece in the success. Committed and interested operators enabled a quick knowledge transfer," says Mikael Johansson, Project Manager at Valmet.

Valmet has successfully started up new coating technology, featuring multilayer curtain coating, at Mayr-Melnhof Kolicevo board machine 3 (BM 3) in Slovenia. Valmet's delivery included a new OptiCoat Layer curtain coater with supply system and a new OptiCoat blade coater.

Compared to other curtain coating solutions OptiCoat Layer is compact in size and straightforward to install. This enables lower investment cost and shorter shut-down time. The start-up was very smooth, thanks to the pre-assembly and pre-testing. This and the good cooperation between Valmet and experienced Kolicevo mill resulted inhigh-quality production right after the start-up.

 "The assembly was finished on time and the start-up was done by just pushing the button. We are happy that the high targets set for this project have been met. The cooperation with Valmet was very good, on an open base during the whole project and startup phase, preventing all possible disturbances, before they even could occur," says Technical Mill Manager Rado Kunavar from Mayr-Melnhof Kolicevo.

Benefits with curtain coating 

Mayr-Melnhof has been using curtain coaters from different suppliers for several years. Due to the compact design of Valmet's coater, the coating trials performed in Järvenpää and the good cooperation during the sales phase, they decided to choose Valmet this time. The selected coating concept including the 2-layer curtain coating makes it possible to reduce coat weight resulting in cost savings.

OptiCoat Layer uses slide dye curtain coating, which enables versatile use of coating color substances and layer thicknesses. The method also provides flawless coating coverage. The supply system includes the necessary degassing equipment. Effective degassing is essential in curtain coating since even the smallest air bubbles affect the stability of the curtain.

"2-layer coating has been tested with dry edges, and equipment works as expected. It has proven to be very good that we chose the degassing system from Valmet. We are very pleased with it," says Production Manager Aljaz Hafner at Mayr-Melnhof Kolicevo.

Information about the customer Mayr-Melnhof Group and the Kolicevo mill
