Stora Enso has permanently stopped the 180,000 tonne/yr newsprint unit PM 1 at its Hylte mill in southern Sweden.
Production was halted on December 27.
The company will now clean the machine and put any parts it can use on the mill's other PMs to the side, according to Henrik Axelsson, communications officer at the factory. The firm has yet to decide what will happen to the remainder of the PM in the long term, he added.
