PM 1 has an annual capacity of 190,000 tonnes of coated magazine paper. The
shutdown will decrease Stora Enso's coated mechanical paper capacity by about
15%, which represents about 2% of total European coated mechanical paper
capacity. Stora Enso will be able to serve its NovaPress customers from
Veitsiluoto mill PM 5 and from Kabel mill in Germany.
Stora Enso will make every effort in co-operation with the local community to
help the affected personnel find new employment opportunities, and all job
openings in other Stora Enso units will be available to those affected.
