its Fors Mill in Sweden to improve product quality and cost

boilers will also be modified to enhance the mill’s energy 
supply by replacing oil with biofuel. The annual folding 
boxboard production capacity of BM2 will increase slightly, 
by13 000 tonnes. Capital expenditure on the project, which is 
scheduled to start in 2006 and be completed in 2007, will amount 
to EUR 35 million.

“This investment during a profit improvement programme is 
essential for the long-term competitiveness of Fors Mill. It 
also demonstrates Stora Enso’s commitment to maintaining and 
developing the quality of its assets, and improving the 
competitiveness of its production in Europe,” says Håkan Moldén, 
Managing Director of Fors Mill.
