“ The pulp demand is strong on all markets”, says Henning Ellström, VP Sales and Marketing Pulp. “The price development in Europe has been lagging compared to that in North America and Asia. We want to reduce the gap between Europe and other markets.”
The new price on bleached softwood kraft pulp is valid from January 1, 2021.

Stora Enso is leasing the former paper machinery hall at its Veitsiluoto site in Finland to the textile technology company Infinited Fiber Company, which plans to build a commercial-scale factory to produce regenerated textile fiber from textile waste. Earlier this month Stora Enso sold its district heating business at Veitsiluoto to utility infrastructure company Nevel, a provider of advanced industrial and municipal infrastructure solutions. “We always want to find sustainable and financially robust long-term solutions to ensure a viable future for our former sites. I am pleased with our rapid progress in signing a lease with companies that can take advantage of the Veitsiluoto infrastructure and bring new business to the area. Our work at Veitsiluoto continues in order to bring more activity and jobs to the site," says Seppo Parvi, Stora Enso's CFO and Country Manager for Finland.
After much consideration, Nekoosa has chosen to discontinue and exit our DIGITAL COATED paper offering at the end of 2020 and we will be selling off our existing inventory without replenishment. The decision to exit this lane was not an easy one, but at the end of the day we do feel it’s best for our business. We are operating on a “while supplies last” basis for this product line and customer service can let you know our current stock levels and pricing for the SKUs that you typically buy. The reasons for this decision can be summarized as a combination of things such as: supply chain issues, an interest in freeing up converting equipment to focus on other product segments, and profitability of the line.
