Project
The loan has been granted to Finnish Atria Plc for financing investments to fully modernise and refurbish Atria’s convenience food factory in Nurmo, Finland. The main purpose of the investment is to improve energy efficiency, cut climate emissions, enhance product quality and support development of innovative products with the latest available technologies.
The modernised facility is planned to be operational during the summer 2028.
The borrower, Atria Plc is the second largest food industry company and the largest meat processor in Finland. The company’s product offering consists of meat products, convenience food and animal feed. The Atria group has approximately 3,800 employees and has operations in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia.
Fulfilment of NIB's mandate
The investment is significant within the Finnish food manufacturing sector and is particularly important for regions where Atria is a major employer.
The project includes a redesign of the facility’s energy systems. The company is electrifying the heat production processes, which will bring substantial cost efficiency gains compared with the previous system.
The investment also plays an important role for Atria in reaching its climate targets, and the modernised facility will act as a pilot for creating a carbon-neutral factory concept.
