SciTech-Service Oy

SciTech-Service Oy is a Finnish technology development company that provides outsourced research and development services to the biomass processing and forest products industries. According to its official website, the company has been offering these services since 1983, positioning itself as a complementing resource for the internal R&D teams of industrial players. Its work spans the entire value chain from wood to pulp and from pulp to dope, covering chemical pulping, bleaching, dissolving pulp, man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCFs) such as viscose and lyocell, and biobased chemicals. The company operates two specialised laboratories in Finland. The Rauma laboratory focuses on wood-to-pulp processes, conducting chemical pulping and bleaching experiments in kilogram-scale and pilot-scale reactors. It supports all conventional pulping technologies, including kraft, soda, sulfite and NSSC pulping, and offers bleaching using ozone, peroxide and chlorine dioxide in both TCF and ECF modes. The Espoo laboratory handles pulp-to-dope work, preparing and testing viscose and lyocell spinning dopes for MMCF production, assessing dissolving pulp suitability, and optimising dope recipes. SciTech-Service maintains an extensive reference database drawn from laboratory and pilot trials as well as industrial operations. SciTech-Service's service portfolio includes concept-level process design and evaluation, planning and execution of laboratory studies, second-opinion services for technical concepts, and mill conversion and improvement services. The company's mission is to complement the internal resources of industrial players through strong in-house expertise, its own reactor laboratory, cooperation with leading partners, and a curious approach to the industry. Its long history since 1983 gives it deep experience with versatile raw materials and processes. The company is privately held and based in Finland. It serves pulp, paper, board, dissolving, fluff and high-yield grade producers, as well as producers of regenerated cellulose products and biobased chemicals. Its expertise in both traditional pulping and emerging MMCF technologies positions it at the intersection of the established forest industry and the growing sustainable materials sector.

SciTech-Service Oy was established in Finland and has been providing outsourced technology development services since 1983. Over the decades, it has built expertise in biomass processing, particularly in the areas of pulp manufacture and man-made cellulosic fibres. The company operates two laboratories: the Rauma laboratory, which focuses on chemical pulping and bleaching experiments from wood to pulp, and the Espoo laboratory, which handles pulp-to-dope work including viscose and lyocell spinning dope preparation and testing. Its long-standing presence in the industry has allowed it to accumulate an extensive reference database from laboratory and pilot trials as well as industrial operations. The company continues to serve as a complementing resource for industrial players, offering concept-level process design, laboratory studies, second-opinion services, and mill conversion and improvement services.
