If you are travelling to the mill by your own car, please follow the directions below.

Address: Äänekoskentie 693, 44200 Äänekoski 

Approaching from Äänekoskentie, turn onto Onkelantie and continue to Kertopuutehtaantie, passing Gate G8. You can park in any available space in the parking area in front of the mill, near the Metsä office.

The evening programme includes a boat cruise on Lake Päijänne. If you are not walking from Sokos Hotel Paviljonki with the group, please join us directly at the harbour for the 18:00 departure.

Address: Satamakatu 8, 40100 Jyväskylä

Our cruise is on S/S Suomi, a distinctive 120-year-old steamboat moored at the main pier. Look for the Metsä logo and Kerto LVL Customer Event sign at the boat's entrance – the Metsä Wood team will welcome you on board.

Public parking is available near the passenger harbour along Satamakatu and in the nearby Lutakko area. 

The Äänekoski Kerto LVL mill is an active industrial site. For everyone’s safety, all visitors must follow the safety instructions given at the mill and remain within the designated event area during the visit.

Flat, closed shoes are required for the mill visit. Safety equipment will be provided at the mill.

For the mill visit, we recommend business casual clothing and flat, closed shoes. Parts of the visit will take place outdoors, so please dress for the weather. Rain ponchos will be available if needed.

The dress code for the evening programme is smart casual. Savutuvan Apaja is a traditional lakeside restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere.

The evening programme also includes a boat cruise on Lake Päijänne. We recommend bringing a warm layer, as September evenings on the lake can be cool.

Photography and filming will take place during the event. Photos and video material may be used in Metsä Wood’s internal and external communications.
 
If you do not wish to appear in photos or videos, please contact us before the event or inform the photographer during the event.

Please note that photography by guests is only allowed in designated areas at the mill. More detailed instructions will be given on site.
