Vancouver, BC - Canfor Corporation (TSX: CFP) announced today that its 77%-owned subsidiary, Vida AB, will permanently close its sawmill operations in Urshult and Orrefors, Sweden.
"While this was a difficult decision, the closures are necessary given the ongoing imbalance between production capacity and access to fibre in southern Sweden," said Karl-Johan Löwenadler, CEO of Vida AB. "By concentrating production in fewer more productive and efficient facilities, we will strengthen Vida's competitiveness and better position the business for the future."
