Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, is initiating a temporary production shutdown at its Joutseno pulp mill starting Monday, 9 June. The shutdown may cause odor nuisance in the vicinity of the mill area.

“Our Joutseno pulp mill will be shut down until further notice. This temporary production shutdown enables us to adjust our pulp inventory levels to match the low order volumes from Asia and the uncertain market situation. We are actively monitoring the development of the market situation, especially in the Asian markets, and will determine the duration of the shutdown and the timing of the mill’s restart based on how the situation evolves. Wood supply and other operational conditions are well in place for resuming production," says Ismo Nousiainen, CEO of Metsä Fibre.
