Södra was invited to take part in a project to build a greenfield pulp mill in southern Siberia. Södra’s role in the project was to be an industrial partner and to handle the marketing and sales of pulp from the planned new pulp mill.  

“The scope of the project has changed from the original plan. From our perspective, the project no longer fits in with our future strategy and we have therefore chosen not to continue with our involvement,” said Gunilla Saltin, Acting CEO and president of Södra Cell.
