Domsjö Fabriker will save SEK 100 million ($10.4 million) through a restructuring program. This means that all costs will be reviewed, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Revenue should be increased through improved quality of the three main products cellulose, lignin and bioethanol.
The use of consumables such as chemicals, steam etc is reviewed as well as all agreements with suppliers, contractors, consultants etc.
As part of the restructuring program, the organization will be changed, with the aim to reduce staffing by 50 FTE from today's almost 400. It will be done through natural retirement and other solutions.
The restructuring program covers the entire business, and trade union negotiations will start shortly. The goal for the new organization is to be manned by the end of November.
Domsjö Fabriker is a Swedish refinery located in Örnsköldsvik that converts raw forest materials into specialty cellulose, lignin, and bio-ethanol.
