Stora Enso

Stora Enso, a fellow Scandinavian paperboard packaging behemoth, was formed in 1998 when Swedish mining and forestry products firm Stora and Finnish forestry products company Enso-Gutzeit Oy merged. The corporation extended its activities in the early years after the merger by purchasing wood products businesses in Europe and, with the acquisition of Consolidated Paper, North America.

The company is well known for producing pulp, paper, and corrugated packaging, but it is also active in wooden construction and biomaterials. Building, retail, food and beverage, manufacturing, publishing, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, confectionery, hygiene, and textiles are just a few of the industries in which it is involved.

Its headquarters are in Helsinki, Finland's capital, and the company today employs over 26,000 employees in more than 50 locations. Annica Bresky, a Swede, is the current CEO of Stora Enso, a firm with net sales of $11.8 billion in 2019.
