Myllykoski to take downtime on paper machine

Myllykoski Paper has made a decision on curtailment of SC-production. PM 6 will be stopped at the end of November and the downtime will last until the end of 2010. Part of the personnel will be laid off. There is a possibility that production curtailments will be continued in January.

Approximately 80 persons are working on PM 6 directly in production. PM 6 manufactures 145,000 tons of uncoated publication paper annually.

Production on paper machines 4 and 7 continues normally.
