Rottneros AB produces pulp for the open market (that is, they have no integrated paper production). They have four mills in Sweden and one in Spain. Due to increased prices on power and pulpwood, Rottneros started a process of closing down its site in Utansjö in the second quarter of 2008. By February 2009, the closing will be completed and the 140 jobs dismissed.
