Metsä Fibre will start change negotiations on possible layoffs of up to 90 days at the company's sawmills in Lappeenranta, Renko and Vilppula.

The change negotiations are used to prepare for the possible need to temporarily restrict production due to the order backlog and challenging market situation. According to the estimate, if implemented, the planned measures could lead to the lay-off of all personnel at Metsä Fibre's Lappeenranta, Renko and Vilppula sawmills for a maximum of 90 days during 2025.

The change negotiations cover the entire staff of Lappeenranta, Renko and Vilppula sawmills, approximately 245 people.
