Stora Enso Plans Two-Month Shutdown at Veitsiluoto Sawmill in Finland

Stora Enso will suspend operations at its Veitsiluoto sawmill in Kemi, Finland, in August and lay off staff until the beginning of October, Metsälehti reported, citing Lapin Kansa (6-9-2026).

The company cited a challenging lumber market, low consumer confidence, geopolitical uncertainty, and log prices as factors behind the suspension. The layoffs do not apply to Stora Enso’s other sawmills operating in northern Finland.
