Apr 30, 2009. /Lesprom Network/. Myllykoski earlier announced capacity reductions from 110 thousand to 135 thousand tons during the first 4 months in 2009 materialized at the level of 150 thousand tons. The additional capacity reductions were implemented to keep the stock levels under control. Myllykoski has decided to further curtail production during the 2Q 2009. The curtailments include both uncoated and coated paper grades at the European mills. The majority of the curtailments so far have been in the coated and nearby SC grades. Myllykoski continues with this action to respond to the soft demand due to the weak economic situation and to focus on paper price increase and stock control. The company is prepared to take further steps when needed. Myllykoski products consist of wood-containing uncoated and coated publication papers, including newsprint.
