The operations of Metsä Group's only production unit in Russia, the Svir sawmill, have been suspended. Wood procurement in Russia for the Svir sawmill and imports to Metsä Group’s Finnish and Swedish mills has also been discontinued.
The Metsä Svir sawmill in Svir, Russia produces sawn timber for a range of industries. Approximately 95 per cent of the Svir sawmill’s production is exported. The sawmill was established by Metsä Fibre in 2006.
Metsä Group focuses on the growth sectors of the forest industry: wood supply and forest services, wood products, pulp, fresh fibre paperboards, as well as tissue and greaseproof papers.
