Stora Enso divests its packaging operations in Russia
It’s the corrugated packaging plants in Luhovitsy, Arzamas, and Balabanovo that have been divested to local management.
Stora Enso’s assessment is that local ownership and operation will provide a more sustainable solution for the businesses and their employees. The plants in question employ approx. 620 people and have an annual capacity of 395 million cubic meters of corrugated packaging.
