Description

Stora Enso, a multi-national firm that produces pulp and paper, has given notice to 172 employees; 101 in Skoghall, 21 in Forshaga, 25 in Skene and 25 in Jönköping. "If we do not take measure, we will be passed by our competitors" is the statement from the company. Store Enso does not think the situation will change until 2010-2011 and therefore has to take this measure.
