Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, will start negotiations on possible layoffs at Joutseno pulp mill in Finland due to a need for temporary adjustment of production to meet low delivery volumes. The change negotiations involve the entire workforce of the Joutseno pulp mill, around 190 people in total.

It is estimated that the planned layoffs, if implemented, would last up to 90 days and could be implemented in several tranches by the end of January 2025.

 The change negotiations begin in week 33 and take approximately two weeks. The targeting, amounts and timing of the redundancies will be clarified by the end of this year.
