Stora Enso plans production line closure at Brand sawmill in Austria

• Stora Enso will retain its Central European sawmills and building solutions business following a strategic review launched in November 2025.
• Planned restructuring could affect up to 250 employees as the business faces slow market growth and rising costs.
• The Brand sawmill’s small-log line in Austria is scheduled to close by the end of Q1 2027, avoiding significant investment requirements.
• Wood procurement and the remaining production line would continue operating normally; other mills would serve affected customers.
• Final decisions on the closure and employee impact are subject to stakeholder consultations.
