SCA Timber is curtailing sawmill production by 10% for the rest of the year.
Most of the production limitation is connected with the Christmas and New Year holidays.
“We are reducing production in order to avoid building inventory,” said chief executive Jonas Mårtensson.
“Demand has not fallen. However, production has increased more, in particular in Finland and Sweden, than what the market has been able to receive.
“We therefore choose to reduce production in order to reach a range that is in balance with demand.”
SCA Timber has a production capacity of approximately 2.2 million m3 of sawn spruce and pine, including the production of associated Gällö Timber.
SCA Timber has around 800 employees.
