This past week, Stora Enso, Finland, stopped production on two newsprint machines in Sweden—PM 2 at the Hylte mill and PM 11 at its Kvarnsveden mill. Earlier this year, the company had said it would close two machines in the second quarter due to the continuing decline in European newsprint demand.
As reported by Euwid Pulp & Paper, Germany, Stora Enso newsprint production on the 205,000 metric tpy PM 2 in Hylte has been shutdown for good, but determination negotiations with employee representatives on the total number of job cuts have not been concluded yet. The outcome of these proceedings is expected next month.
The company noted that the 270,000 metric tpy PM 11 in Kvarnsveden had halted production for the time being in what is said to be a market related stoppage. Negotiation between the company and employee representatives regarding the permanent shutdown of PM 11 and the total number of jobs affected by the closure were still going on.
