In addition to the investment, Stora Enso has made significant executive appointments. 

Niclas Rosenlew has been appointed group CFO and will succeed Seppo Parvi, who is leaving the company.  

Currently serving as group CFO at SKF, a Swedish stock-listed industrial company, Niclas Rosenlew brings extensive financial experience from previous roles at Basware, Microsoft, and Nokia.  

The company also appointed Carolyn Wagner as executive vice-president of the Packaging Solutions division, taking over from the retiring Smit.  

Both Wagner and Rosenlew are set to join Stora Enso by January 2025 and will be part of the company’s group leadership team. 

In May this year, Stora Enso postponed its decision to convert two paper machines at its Langerbrugge site in Belgium into a high-volume recycled containerboard line.
