Paper division was formed, incorporating
North American publication paper operations.
This change will facilitate the
exchange of best practices between
European and North American operations
and foster mutual collaboration
and the development of a global business
strategy.
Initiatives to enhance profi tability
The measures introduced by Publication
Paper as part of the Profi t 2007 programme
and the Asset Performance
Review are aimed at improving the performance
and profi tability of European
operations.
The use of shared services will be
increased in administrative areas, such as
human resources, accounting, purchasing,
logistics, and IT to generate economies
of scale and additional synergies.
The Kabel and Reisholz mills in Germany
and the Düsseldorf offi ce will integrate
some of their administration. The
Anjala, Kotka, and Summa mills will
switch to a common sales and marketing
department based in Anjalankoski in
Finland.
PM 3 at Langerbrugge Mill will shift
from producing SC to SC-B grade, which
is made from 100 % recovered fi bre rather
than fresh fi bre. As a result of this
change, the thermomechanical pulp
plant will be closed, reducing energy
costs.
“In today’s business environment,
with rising input costs, such as energy
and raw materials, we need to bring our
cost level down,” says Bernd Rettig,
