Stora Enso responds to speculation about the future of its 
sawmilling business

An article was published today in the Swedish commercial daily 
newspaper Dagens Industri about the future of Stora Enso Timber. 
It included too far-reaching assumptions by the newspaper that 
Stora Enso would sell its Wood Products (sawmilling) division. 

A review of Stora Enso’s strategy was initiated in spring 2005. 
As a result, the Group launched two programmes, Profit 2007 and 
Asset Performance Review (APR). In October 2005 Stora Enso 
issued a release that stated: “Further analysis of the alignment 
of the Group’s strategy with its product and production asset 
portfolio is underway.” The Group is reviewing the role of the 
Wood Products division in its organisation. No decisions have 
been taken, nor is there any timetable concerning this 
issue.
