Key Points:
- HELSINKI, June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Stora Enso has completed the negotiations concerning the consolidation of its book paper production and the permanent closure of one of the two paper machines at the Anjalankoski site in Finland.
- In April 2023, Stora Enso announced a plan to permanently close one of the two paper machines and concentrate all book paper production to one line at the integrated Anjalankoski site due to the prevailing weak paper demand and high input costs.
- The closure of the line producing uncoated mechanical grades will reduce the site's annual capacity by 250,000 tonnes and sales with approximately EUR 100 million.
- The site includes the Ingerois packaging board production unit and the Anjala paper production unit, the latter of which was previously reported under the, now dissolved, Paper division.
