Stora Enso, Finland, announced in February 2017 plans to permanently close down one paper machine (PM 8) with related reorganization at the Kvarnsveden Mill in Sweden that could affect a maximum of 140 people at the mill. PM 8 was permanently shut down in June, and the negotiations between central parties have now been concluded.
The impact of the reorganization and PM 8 closure was mitigated through individual solutions, such as early retirement. Altogether the number of people affected will be 122.
Stora Enso is convinced that through the measures taken, it is possible to improve the competitiveness of the Kvarnsveden Mill going forward.
Production at Kvarnsveden Mill will continue on two lines, PM 10 for improved newsprint paper and PM 12 for SC papers.
Stora Enso is a provider of renewable solutions in packaging, biomaterials, wooden constructions, and paper on global markets. The company employs some 25 000 people in more than 35 countries, and its sales in 2016 were EUR 9.8 billion.
