STOCKHOLM, Nov. 13, 2019 (Press Release) -Henrik Ehrnrooth, former long-time chairman of the board at Pöyry and current board member of ÅF Pöyry has been awarded with the Energy Globe ‘Medal of Honor’. Henrik’s achievement in winning one of the most prestigious international environmental awards is down to his outstanding, impactful and innovative work for sustainable development and climate friendly solutions.

The international Energy Globe World Award is celebrating 20th anniversary this year. Often referred to as ‘the Nobel of sustainable development’, Energy Globe presents extraordinary sustainable projects from all over the world with a focus on impact, solutions and actions. In addition, the award can be presented to individuals as a recognition of their personal contribution. The awards are presented annually by the Energy Globe Foundation, the primary objective of which is to create a higher level of awareness concerning sustainable development and innovations, especially in energy efficiency. The foundation is supported in its activities by the Honorary Board which is led by Maneka Gandhi, Minister for Women and Child Development in India.

During his 40 year career actively contributing to sustainable development, Henrik has become recognized as one of the leading global experts in the bioeconomy and forestry. Henrik is one of the founding members of the Climate Leadership Coalition (CLC) and has been the chairman of the board at CLC since 2017. CLC is a network of companies, research organizations and cities who strive to be among the leaders of their respective fields in terms of climate ambition. During Henrik’s leadership, CLC has grown to be the largest climate-business network within the EU.

“Forest industry, when I started my career 40 years ago, was a polluting industry with a bad reputation. In four decades it has become a cornerstone of the new ‘bioeconomy’ which produces recyclable and biodegradable products from renewable sources. The forest industry's energy needs can be supplied by bioenergy and consumption of water is nowadays one tenth of what is used to be back then. Process waters are treated and returned to nature cleaned. Forest industry also plants new forests in many countries. This transformation has been profitable business and demonstrates the industry revolution that can also mitigate climate change,” says Henrik Ehrnrooth.

Henrik started his career at Pöyry 40 years ago and was the CEO from 1986 – 1995. He was a member of the board at Pöyry from 1996 – 2003 and chairman of the board from 2003 – 2019. He currently continues as a member of the board of ÅF Pöyry.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 7, 2019 (Press Release) -The Swedish Pulp and Paper producer, Rottneros, has selected ÅF Pöyry as partner for further efficiency development of their mills in Rottneros and Vallvik, Sweden.

Rottneros have about 300 employees working with development and production of pulp. Rottneros produces pulp at their mills, in Vallvik chemical pulp and in Rottneros, Värmland mechanical pulp. Rottneros also have a third production unit, Rottneros Packaging, producing biobased packages for food, and a company for supplying wood in Latvia.

ÅF Pöyry´s assignment is to deliver and install the newly developed software ’ÅF Pöyry Pulse’ in Rottneros and Vallvik mills. The new software helps to maximize availability, and gives an overview of raw material consumption of industrial processes, and by using that information, increase productivity. The ÅF Pöyry Pulse includes functions also for realtime monitoring, communication and connecting the operation with maintenance. The user can easily oversee production through a modern and user-friendly interface, take actions when needed or identify free production capacity i.e. work more proactively.

“We are very excited to work with Rottneros and look forward to help streamline Rottneros’ operation and at the same time create possibilities towards Industry 4.0”, says David Andersson, Section manager, Industrial digitalization, ÅF Pöyry.

‘ÅF Pöyry Pulse’ is the modern platform we believe can provide possibilities for our continuous strive towards efficiency and thereby increase our production in an optimal and sustainable way,” says Lennart Eberleh, CEO Rottneros, “It is vital for our company development that our staff have the best possibilities through modern technology in their daily work.”

The key element in ÅF Pöyry Pulse is to combine people and technology. Another part is focusing on future activities.

“To receive full potential with a new software it must attract the user and be user friendly in order to be used in daily work. Many similar solutions focus on historical data, but ÅF Pöyry Pulse also supports future events and with that a more proactive way or working”, says David Andersson.

Through KPI´s such as e.g. OEE and the raw material consumption, ÅF Pöyry Pulse increases the equipment utilization and enables high availability, and increases the uptime of the existing infrastructure.

ÅF Pöyry Pulse tools are planned to be commissioned in Rottneros and Vallvik starting in January 2020.
