The decision in 2001 to close the coating
machine at the Nymölla Mill meant that 160 positions were to be
eliminated. In May 2001, the mill received a new permit to increase
its pulp production, which allows production to take place year-round.
An additional 15 people were needed as a result.
The final outcome in May 2001 resulted in 38 people being laid off
and 62 employees being offered early retirement. The remaining 45
left through personnel attrition. As the mill needs temporary personnel
on a recurring basis, 27 employees who were laid off have formed
a pool of temporary workers, and work in different departments as
needed. When vacancies for permanent positions open up, they are
given priority.
A total of 100 employees were assigned new duties at the mill, after
being consulted about their interest in new positions. Training
was started immediately after the machine was shut down in February
2002.
