Stora Enso Oyj has sold its Uetersen speciality and graphic paper mill to the European private equity fund Perusa Partners Fund 2.
As of 18 February 2015, the long-established paper mill will operate under the name Feldmuehle Uetersen GmbH. Feldmuehle Uetersen will offer its flexibility, high quality and services on the market as an independent company and thus its former name is not the only aspect in which it will be returning to its roots.
Feldmuehle Uetersen GmbH has some 400 employees and operates two paper machines with a total annual capacity of approx. 250 000 tons. The mill's product range includes label and packaging papers, liner and cardboard as well as two-side coated graphic papers in gloss and silk.
Selected segments of the existing product areas will be systematically expanded and strengthened. The current product portfolio includes familiar brands, such as the label papers LabelSet and UniSet and the packaging papers LennoKraft, MediaCard and MediaLiner. Uetersen's graphic paper MediaPrint will, in the future, be sold under the new brand name Exceo.
