Trumps Tariffs Trigger Turmoil
Holmen will reduce its output by 90,000 m3 at its sawmill in Braviken, Sweden reports Pulp and Paper news. As a consquence, the company will reduce its staff by 40 positions. That’s a third of the workforce.
Of course, it’s really sad and a great shame, this is not at all what we would like to do, says Johan Padel, business area manager at Holmen Trävaror, to Norrköpings Tidningar.
The sawmill is struggling with profitability problems. According to Padel, there are two reasons why the profitability calculation does not add up: the American tariffs and reduced access to timber from the surrounding area at a competitive cost.
To adapt to this new situation, the sawmill must reduce production volume, from 450,000 cubic meters to 360,000 cubic meters of sawn timber.
According to Johan Padel, the notice was expected.
Holmen’s paper mill in Braviken will not affected by the notice.
