Stora Enso and trade unions are currently negotiating the closure of the paper sack and bag plant in Ostrołęka. Some 130 employees are affected.

Stora Enso is considering definitive closure of its paper sack and bag operations at the Ostrołęka paper and packaging site in Poland by the end of the year. The Ostrołęka plant is the only bag and sack facility within the entire Stora Enso group.

"The plant's business profile is not part of our core business and thus not considered strategic for the company”, a company spokesperson explained. Negotiations with employee representatives on the planned closure have already started and are expected be completed by 15 March.

Production of sack kraft paper, wrapping paper, corrugated case materials and corrugated packaging at the Ostrołęka paper and packaging site are not affected by the planned closure of the paper sack plant, according to the company.
