Stora Enso to implement restructure with seven business areas
Finnish packaging company Stora Enso is set to reorganise its structure into seven profit and loss (P&L) accountable business areas, emphasising the significance of its renewable packaging operations.
This restructuring aims to enhance customer engagement, operational efficiency by increasing integration and simplifying processes.
The new structure will see Stora Enso's renewable packaging segment divided into four P&L responsible areas, namely food service and liquid board, cartonboard, containerboard, and packaging solutions.
Generating around 60% of Stora Enso's annual revenue, these sectors will support clients in minimising their ecological footprint while capitalising on sustainability trends, leveraging leading market positions, and fostering innovation.
Each business unit will provide a range of renewable, fibre-based packaging solutions, including cartons, boxes, trays, cups, and bags, to various industries.
The remaining 40% of Stora Enso's projected annual revenue will be managed by three other P&L accountable divisions: biomaterials, wood products, and forest.
Besides their respective businesses, they will contribute to Stora Enso's renewable packaging by supplying essential raw materials through sustainable wood sourcing.
Under the new organisation structure, Nordic sawmills and building solutions sites will be operationally linked to the geographically nearest board or pulp production facility to improve operational and supply chain synergies.
However, Central European counterparts will stay under the Wood Products division and maintain the company's global sales and customer service network.
The planned organisational changes include removing a layer of management and further decentralising P&L responsibility to align more closely with customer needs and operational activities.
Consequently, Stora Enso will have seven P&L accountable business areas encompassing a total of 21 P&L units.
Stora Enso president and CEO Hans Sohlström said: "Our planned new organisation has been carefully structured to maximise customer and business focus, operational efficiency and synergies, ensure the benefits of supply chain integration, and ultimately reflect our performance and results-oriented culture.'
The company appointed Markku Luoto to lead the Food Service and Liquid Board, Andreas Birmoser for Cartonboard, and Hannu Kasurinen for Containerboard.
Luoto and Birmoser are set to join the group leadership team as executive vice presidents on 1 July 2025.
Other divisions such as packaging solutions, biomaterials, wood products, and forest will retain their current leadership with Carolyn Wagner, Johanna Hagelberg, Lars Völkel, and Tuomas Hallenberg at the helm, respectively.
The implementation of the new structure is scheduled for 1 July 2025.
This transition is contingent upon co-determination negotiations and compliance with legal requirements in all affected countries.
Last month, Stora Enso began the production ramp-up of its new consumer packaging board line at the Oulu site in Finland.

Faller Packaging to begin folding carton manufacturing in Horsens, Denmark
Faller Packaging is set to begin folding carton manufacturing at its new facility in Horsens, Denmark, by late 2025. This move follows a project declaration made in April 2023 regarding the creation of an additional production site for the Nordic market. The company noted that its new plant is designed to meet the rising demand for pharmaceutical packaging. It will serve as a complement to the existing facility in Hvidovre, Denmark, and aims to enhance production capabilities in line with market requirements. With the introduction of this site, Faller Packaging intends to increase total capacity in Denmark to around 900 million units each year. The Horsens facility is projected to produce up to 600 million folding cartons annually, significantly contributing to the company's overall output. The choice to open a second production site is in line with Faller Packaging's expansion strategy for its folding carton division. The company has already secured and extensively refurbished a 5,700m² building complex in Horsens. Production at the new facility will be implemented in stages, with future staff receiving thorough training at the Hvidovre site. This strategy aims to ensure a seamless transition and operational effectiveness. A significant advantage of the Horsens plant is the utilisation of modern full-format printing presses, which enable a greater output per sheet compared to the previously used half-format technology. This improvement is expected to boost production efficiency. While the Horsens site will concentrate solely on manufacturing, administrative operations will continue at the Hvidovre facility. The two plants will work in close collaboration, with Hvidovre overseeing new customer projects and producing both special and standard folding cartons. The establishment of the second production site is expected to offer considerable benefits for local pharmaceutical manufacturers and international companies in the area. Faller Packaging aims to enhance delivery times, logistical flexibility, and overall service quality. Faller Packaging managing director Christian Holmskov said: 'The new factory is lean and combines efficiency and quality. This not only allows us to significantly increase capacity, but also strengthens our customer service on site. 'What's more, we are present here in an area that offers good conditions for further growth thanks to a strong industrial environment.' In February 2024, Faller Packaging introduced a new fully recyclable tamper-evident label.
