Production at the Tako board mill concluded on June 17, when the mill\u2019s board machine BM1 was shut down. Mets\u00e4 Board announced the decision to close the Tako mill in March 2025 following change negotiations, as part of efforts to improve the company\u2019s profitability and cost competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the decision, Mets\u00e4 Board has supported the re-employment of the mill\u2019s 191 employees through a comprehensive support programme. This has included internal recruitment days in cooperation with other Mets\u00e4 Group mills, collaboration with employment authorities, and re-employment training and coaching. At the time of production shutdown, 95 employees had already found new jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe decision to close the mill has been a difficult one, and we have aimed to support our personnel in the best possible way during this transition. For example, internal recruitment days have helped Tako employees find new roles within Mets\u00e4 Group. We still hope that more job opportunities will be found, depending on individuals’ ability to relocate,\u201d says Timo Ahonen<\/strong>, VP Tako Board mill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Production of Tako\u2019s products has been transferred to Mets\u00e4 Board\u2019s Kyro mill, and customer deliveries will continue without interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe mill\u2019s production has been run down responsibly and with high quality. This accomplishment is thanks to the personnel, who have demonstrated exceptional professionalism despite the difficult situation. Tako is known for its strong ‘Tako spirit’, which has been evident in the work commitment, right up to the final days of production,\u201d Ahonen adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the end of production, cleaning work and preparations for dismantling the production equipment inside the mill have begun. The dismantling of machines and production equipment is planned to take place during 2026. Machines, equipment, pipes, and tanks will be emptied and cleaned by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process of obtaining a building permit for dismantling the external equipment from outside the building has been initiated. The future use of the property has not yet been determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Production at the Tako board mill concluded on June 17, when the mill\u2019s board machine BM1 was shut down.
