Paper manufacturer M-real has said around 103 staff will be affected by the integration of its pulp and board dividions at the Kemiart Liners mill in Finland.

Statutory negotiations concerning jobs at the mill were initiated on 17 August this year. The estimated reduction will be 52 staff.

M-real said streamlining actions were an essential and a natural phase of development to improve profitability and efficiency of the Kemi integrated site.

According to the company, M-real, Metsä-Botnia and Metsäliitto Group would profit from a more cost efficient and streamlined operating model.

A spokesman said: The physical closeness of the units makes the integration process flexible and will compress the cooperation of the integrated site further.
