The pulp and paper industry is at a transformative juncture, with sustainability driving innovation across Europe and Asia. As environmental regulations tighten and companies prioritize greener operations, the demand for efficient solutions to reduce water, energy, and resource consumption has surged. At Fiber-X, we see this shift firsthand, particularly in the growing need for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) services and scalable demo facilities.

The Growing Need for Resource Optimization
Industries are now more committed than ever to achieving sustainability goals. Reducing water usage, energy consumption, fiber loss and other resources, isn't just a responsibility—it's a competitive advantage. Fiber-X has observed increased demand from clients across Europe and Asia seeking comprehensive solutions to achieve these efficiencies while maintaining product quality and profitability. Our engineering services are tailored to address these challenges, providing innovative designs and process optimization strategies that support clients in reducing their environmental footprint.
The Rise of Pilot and Demo Facilities
The shift toward sustainable practices has spurred interest in pilot and demo facilities that enable companies to test and scale new technologies efficiently. EPCM projects for pilot plants have seen significant growth, especially in the pulp and paper sector, where clients seek to validate innovative solutions before scaling up.
One exemplary project is Nordic Bioproduct Group's Lappeenranta facility, which demonstrates the effectiveness of a well-planned EPCM strategy. Built in just a few years and producing around 10,000 tons annually, the facility showcases how a cost-effective pilot or demo plant can support innovation and pave the way for large-scale production. By leveraging versatile equipment and tailored engineering solutions, we ensure that demo plants deliver maximum value without unnecessary expense.
Collaboration in EPCM projects: The Key to Success
Developing pilot or demo plants isn’t a solo endeavor—it’s a partnership-driven process. A highly experienced team, combined with trusted partners, is essential for success. At Fiber-X, we emphasize collaboration with equipment suppliers, technology providers, and local stakeholders to deliver seamless project execution. These partnerships allow us to offer flexible and cost-effective solutions, ensuring our clients can focus on innovation without overextending resources.
