Andritz has acquired Swedish company Kempulp, a specialist provider of process technologies for the chemical pulping industry.

The company designs and markets technologies used in chemical pulping, including pulp washing, oxygen delignification and bleaching technologies. 

The acquisition includes all of Kempulp’s intellectual property rights, technical expertise, tools, systems and inventory.

The company supplies process solutions, equipment, upgrades, parts and services that Andritz said complements its existing offering for pulp producers.

Located in Karlstad, Sweden, the organisation will be fully integrated.
