In early August UPM Miramichi successfully started up the first Metso Paper WinRoll multistation winder in North America, at their mill in New Brunswick, Canada. On August 19, 2004, the mill set a new world winding speed record by winding three sets of rolls, with a basis weight of 74 g/m (50 lb), at a speed of 3201 m/min (10,500 feet/min).

The WinRoll was commissioned quickly and the demanding guarantees were achieved eight days ahead of schedule.
