Nowadays, Metsä Board focuses on folding boxboards, food service boards and white kraftliners. Metsä Board has altogether seven production units in Finland (Kyro, Tako, Simpele, Äänekoski, Kemi, Joutseno, Kaskinen) and one in Sweden (Husum).
In the fall of 2020, Metsä Board announced that it would open a competence center in Äänekoski focusing on cardboard and packaging.
