Metsä Group plans to discontinue the sawn timber production in Merikarvia, Finland. The production would end by summer 2024. The change negotiations at the Merikarvia sawmill concern all the sawmill’s 79 employees.
“The Merikarvia sawmill has reached the end of its technical life cycle, which is why we’ve initiated plans to close down its operations,” says Ismo Nousiainen, CEO of Metsä Fibre.
The annual production capacity of the Merikarvia sawmill is approximately 220,000 m3 pine sawn timber, and the annual wood consumption is approximately 455,000 m3.
