Metsä Group Press Release 3 March 2015


Metsä Wood, the wood products business area of Metsä Group, will initiate
statutory labour negotiations at its Kerto(R) LVL mills in Punkaharju and Lohja
in order to adjust production in response to decreased demand in main markets.
The planned temporary layoffs concern the whole personnel at both mills. The
statutory labour negotiations are expected to be concluded during March and the
possible curtailments are scheduled to take place mainly by the end of June
2015
