Stora Enso is planning to invest EUR 28 million in modernising and developing Murow sawmill in Poland to increase its capacity and improve its competitiveness, the company announced in a press release.
Stora Enso is rethinking its geographical mix as part of its transformation into a renewable materials company. The investment in Murow sawmill will develop Stora Enso’s wood product offering in the growing Central and Eastern European markets. Stora Enso will also utilise the platform in Poland to support growth in selected overseas markets.
“Stora Enso already has a well-established position in wood markets and is seen as a reliable partner. This investment in a strong growth market will enable us to serve existing and new customers even better in the future,” says Karl-Henrik Sundström, Executive Vice President, Stora Enso Printing and Living.
The investment in Murow sawmill will increase Stora Enso’s consumption of Polish saw logs. The production capacity of the sawmill will rise to 140 000 m³/shift/year. Over the next five years, Stora Enso plans to increase the sawmill’s output gradually to 400 000 m³ per year.
