Södra Schedules Market Downtime at Tofte, Folla, Mörrum Mills

Södra, Sweden, reports that it will take market-related downtime at its Södra Cell Tofte pulp mill in Norway for the remainder of the year beginning with week 50 in December. The downtime is in response to weakened demand for pulp due to international financial unrest, the company notes.

Södra also decided to stop production at the Södra Cell Folla pulp mill in Norway at the same time. In addition, Södra Cell Mörrum in Blekinge began extended maintenance shutdown for the same reason from November 19 to December 7.
