UPM-Kymmene is active in the forest industry. The company currently works with the development of wood biomass and biofuel. The product portfolio is broad and includes, for example, biochemicals, printing materials, paper, and timber. The company has operations on a global level, with the largest presence around the European market. The head office is located in Helsinki.

The process extended by 5 months. The original schedule was to close already in July 2025. Apparently, the negotiations according to German law did not proceed so smoothly, but momentum was sought through arbitration.

News Powered by Cision              UPM lopettaa graafisen paperin tuotannon Ettringenissä – muutosneuvottelut...    (UPM, Helsinki, 16.12.2025, klo 18.30) – UPM ilmoitti maaliskuussa 2025 suunnittelevansa                             UPM announced in March 2025 its plan to cease graphic paper production at Ettringen, Germany. Change negotiations have now been concluded, and the mill’s closure affects 189 employees. With the closure of the Ettringen mill, UPM’s annual production capacity for uncoated graphic papers will decrease by 270,000 tonnes. The mill will cease operations by the end of December 2025. After the closure, a post-care team will be appointed to ensure the safety of the mill.

This issue of raw wood prices in Finland will only be resolved if 1) a couple of medium-sized pulp mills and a few sawmills/plywood factories are closed domestically, or 2) wood starts coming from Russia again. Otherwise, I agree with Jekkku, those are the endangered pulp mills. It will be interesting to see how long the management of pulp companies believes in better times and runs factories at 70-80% utilization rates. It’s worth noting that the price of wood in Finland has decreased due to reduced demand from factory shutdowns. When pulp demand picks up, the price of pulpwood will skyrocket again. Solutions to the profitability crisis are still ahead.

It certainly looks bad, but luckily the price of wood has already come down. Apparently, in addition, cardboard has started flowing into Europe from China in increasing amounts, which creates even more price pressure. Next, will Joutseno, Uimaharju, Kaukas, or even Anjala permanently shut down?

This 2025 pulp price curve doesn’t give much cause for celebration. Additionally, over the weekend, news came that the economy in the price-leading region, namely China, is struggling badly. Is the pulp producers’ elimination game truly beginning?

publish.ne.cision.com              ViewReleaseInStandardHtml                              UPM is launching UPM Circular Renewable Black™ pigment, a groundbreaking innovation that redefines the role of black color in sustainable packaging. UPM Circular Renewable Black is the world’s first bio-based and carbon-negative\[1\] pigment that can be identified by near-infrared (NIR) radiation. It enables premium packaging that combines top-tier design, full recyclability, and strong, responsible performance. Black packaging has long been considered a challenge for recycling, as fossil-based carbon black prevents optical sorting in NIR systems, making packaging virtually invisible in recycling facilities. UPM Circular Renewable Black changes the situation. The pigment is made from renewable lignin and is certified according to independent certification systems (FSC\[2\], PEFC\[3\], ISCC Plus). The pigment offers an iconic deep black shade, full NIR detectability, and a carbon-negative footprint, enabling brands to adopt circular economy-supporting and climate-positive packaging solutions. UPM Circular Renewable Black is part of UPM’s portfolio of carbon-negative solutions, which will be produced at the company’s 1.3 billion euro biochemicals plant in Leuna, Germany. The plant is Europe’s largest industrial-scale investment in biochemical production. It converts sustainably sourced hardwood into next-generation biochemicals and accelerates the transition from fossil-based solutions to renewable materials across various industries.

As a forest owner, I wouldn’t be overly concerned about this UPM situation. Let’s hypothetically assume that the new JV would close the Kirkniemi paper mill, meaning a capacity reduction of 575,000 tons per year. This multiplied by 3, meaning a reduction in raw wood demand of 1,725,000 cubic meters of wood per year. However, that’s only about 5% of fiberwood consumption in Finland. Of course, it would affect the price of raw wood, but less than the imported wood brought from Russia back in the day.
