STORA ENSO OYJ PRESS RELEASE 29 May 2009 at 14.15 GMT                           


Sunila Oy has been loss-making since the beginning of the year because pulp     
prices have remained low and it has not been possible to reduce wood costs      
sufficiently. Sunila had to halt production due to slack market pulp sales,     
stoppages at customers' mills and declines in orders.                           

Sunila Oy has laid off almost all of its personnel since the beginning of April 
due to the production curtailments. It has been decided to extend the production
curtailments and related temporary lay-offs after the summer holiday stoppage   
until the end of September because there is no sign of an improvement in the    
market situation.                                                               

Sunila Oy is 100% owned by Stora Enso Oyj.
