UPM Ceases Production
Print

Helsinki, Finland 29 November 2012 -- The glue lam panel production at UPM Heinola further processing mill in Finland will cease by mid-December. UPM announced in June 2012 the decision to close down the mill by the end of the year.

UPM has started the “From Job to Job” programme in Heinola in order to alleviate the effects caused by staff reductions in relation to the closing of the mill. The programme, which UPM implements in co-operation with the authorities and partner companies, includes active measures that promote employment and re-training.

Heinola further processing mill employs 27 people. The decision announced today is part of the plan published on 29 June 2012, including restructuring of UPM’s sawmill and further processing operations and  renewal of business strategy in Finland.
