"The pulp market situation remains challenging. Due to the demand outlook and the situation in the wood market, we need to prepare for adjusting pulp production for a longer period than previously anticipated," says Ismo Nousiainen, CEO of Metsä Fibre. "For this reason, we are now compelled to initiate new change negotiations concerning potential temporary lay-offs at Joutseno.“

The change negotiations have begun in week 37.
