SCA intends to invest SEK 1.45 billion ( EUR 140.7 million) in the production of chemically pre-treated thermo-mechanical pulp (CTMP) at the Ortviken paper mill in Sundsvall, Sweden. In parallel, SCA is initiating consultations with trade unions and employee representatives to discontinue the production of publication paper at the mill.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCA intends to invest to achieve an annual production volume of 300,000 tonnes of CTMP pulp at Ortviken, using the existing infrastructure. The investment is expected to give a positive EBITDA-effect of approximately SEK 0.3 billion (EUR 29 million) per annum. Expected start of production in the new mill is the beginning of 2023. SCA today has a production capacity of 100,000 tonnes of CTMP pulp at the \u00d6strand pulp mill. This production will be phased out when the new line starts up, which will allow a future increase in the production of kraft pulp at \u00d6strand Pulp mill.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur pulp customers want us to grow with them in product segments such as packaging board and hygiene products, segments with healthy growth,\u201d says Ulf Larsson, SCA\u2019s CEO. \u201cIn line with our strategy, we have gradually reduced our exposure to publication paper. We now initiate negotiations to leave this product segment completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, SCA produces coated and uncoated publication paper on three paper machines at Ortviken paper mill with annual sales of approximately SEK 4 billion (EUR 388 million). During the coronavirus pandemic, demand for publication paper decreased by a further 30-40% and production at Ortviken paper mill has been adapted to the weak order level. This low demand, combined with a weak price development, results in a negative profitability for the operation.<\/p>\n

The closure of publication paper manufacturing at Ortviken paper mill proposed by SCA will affect about 800 employees, primarily at Ortviken paper mill, but also in other parts of SCA\u2019s operations. The closure would result in non-recurrent costs with cashflow effects which are estimated not to exceed SEK 0.9 billion (EUR 87 million) and an impairment of about SEK 1.1 billion (EUR 106 million).<\/p>\n

Negotiations under the Co-determination at Work Act (MBL) with trade unions will now begin regarding the plans to discontinue paper production at Ortviken paper mill, the investment in CTMP production at Ortviken and the impact on other SCA operations. In other jurisdictions affexcted employees and their representatives will be informed and consulted in line with the legal framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
