Stora Enso will continue production curtailment and lay-offs at Sunila Pulp Mill in July

Monday 01. June 2009 - Sunila Oy has been loss-making since the beginning of the year because pulp prices have remained low and it has not been possible to reduce wood costs sufficiently.

Sunila had to halt production due to slack market pulp sales, stoppages at customers’ mills and declines in orders.

Sunila Oy has laid off almost all of its personnel since the beginning of April due to the production curtailments. It has been decided to extend the production curtailments and related temporary lay-offs after the summer holiday stoppage until the end of September because there is no sign of an improvement in the market situation.

Sunila Oy is 100% owned by Stora Enso Oyj.
