Speaking during his visit to the paper mill in Irvine he said:
“UPM Caledonian is a great example of Finnish business investing in Scotland. For nearly 25 years the mill has invested in the local community creating jobs both at the facility and in the wider community. “
He added:
“I am equally impressed with the sound investment into sustainable manufacturing here with the integrated combined heat power plant.

Mr Gordon Mitchell, General Manager at UPM Caledonian commented:
“UPM has invested significantly into this site in Ayrshire, most recently with a £68M investment into a renewable energy power plant. This investment alone reduced our CO2 emissions by 75,000 tonnes per year and is a true contribution to the Scottish Government’s 2020 carbon reduction vision.”

During the visit the delegation visited the operations at the site on Meadowhead Road as well as seeing the CHP facility.
