Metsä Fibre Starts Negotiations on Possible Layoffs at Its Sawmill in Rauma, Finland
Metsä Fiber, a member of the Metsä Group, announced on Tuesday that it will start change negotiations on possible temporary layoffs at its Rauma sawmill and Joutseno and Rauma pulp mills. The negotiations involve the entire personnel of these facilities, totaling approximately 465 people.
The change negotiations are used to prepare for a temporary need to restrict production due to the order backlog and the weakened market situation, Metsä Fiber said.
Any layoffs would last for a maximum of 90 days and could be implemented in several cycles by the end of December 2025. The allocation amounts and dates of layoffs will be specified during 2025.
Change negotiations will begin during the week of May 12 and are expected to last for two weeks.
