Metsä Group’s strategic objectives

3. • New bioproduct mill in Kemi
• New pine sawmill in Rauma
• First phase in renewing the Husum pulp mill in Sweden
• Annual sawn timber production would increase by 750,000 m3 and pulp production by 900,000 tonnes
• Use of fossil fuels would reduce by over 400 GWh/a, production of renewable energy increase
by over 2 TWh/a and carbon dioxide stored in wood products that have a long lifespan increase
by 700,000 tonnes/a
Investments would be implemented in 2019–2023

Metsä Group starts pre-engineering related to three
investments worth EUR 2 billion in total

4. • Over EUR 0.6 billion increase in annual income
• EUR 0.7 billion increase in exports
• Annual increase in the use of wood of about 6 million cubic meters
• Approximately 2,000 new jobs mainly in wood sourcing and logistics
• Construction phases’ employment approximately 11,500 person-years
• Share of renewable energy in Finland would increase by
approximately 2 %-units

11. • EUR 1.5 billion investment
• Pulp production capacity 1.5 million tonnes (currently 0.6)
– Pulp partly to Metsä Board’s kraftliner mill at the same site. Main
markets for external pulp volumes in Europe and Asia
– Also various other bioproducts
• Direct employment roughly 250 people and in the whole direct
value chain 2,500 people (1,000)
• Employment impact in construction phase nearly 10,000 person-years
• Wood consumption 7.6 million m³/a (3.1)
• Self-sufficiency in electricity 250 per cent
• Sidestreams utilized 100%. No fossil fuels used
• Kemi’s industrial site to become a versatile bioeconomy ecosystem
• Final investment decision in summer 2020

Husum pulp mill to be renewed
• Metsä Board commences pre-engineering of the first phase of the
renewal of Husum integrate’s pulp mill in Sweden
• Roughly EUR 300 million investment in new recovery boiler and
turbine in 2019–2022
• The mill’s two fibre lines are planned to be replaced with one new
line in the second phase of the renewal in the 2020’s
• Pulp production capacity of roughly 750,000 tonnes/a would
remain unchanged, but the mill’s cost competitiveness would
improve clearly
– Roughly half of the pulp used in own paperboard production at the site
• Final investment decision in the last quarter of 2019 at the earliest
