Stora Enso Wood Products Plans Temporary Production Curtailments to Improve Profitability
Stora Enso is planning additional production curtailments in its Wood Products business area through temporary mill closures, shift reductions, efficiency measures and extended maintenance stoppages in Finland, Estonia and the Czech Republic. The Group has already recently agreed similar measures in Austria, Sweden and the Baltic States. In addition, Stora Enso plans to restructure its joinery component business in Estonia by permanently closing down the Viljandi component mill and transferring the business to Imavere sawmill. These planned new measures and already agreed new measures would reduce total production by about 1.2 million cubic metres per year in Finland, the Baltic States, Austria, the Czech Republic and Sweden.

AUSTRIANS love to complain, but when it comes to their economy even they admit that they are currently grumbling at a high level. After years of catching up with their wealthy European neighbours, they seem to have arrived: leaving aside a handful of countries like Switzerland, Norway and the newly rich Ireland, Austria is up there with the best of them (and, gratifyingly, slightly ahead of Germany).
