history
The foundation stone for the history of Stora was the acquisition of a copper ore mining concession by the Swedish Bishop Peter in 1288. For seven centuries, copper mining in the Falun mine was the core business of the company, which has been known as " Stora Kopparbergs bergslag " since 1862 , "Stora" for short, carries. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the company began to work increasingly in the fields of logging and paper production . In 1990 Stora expanded into the German market by taking over the German-Swedish Feldmühle Group .
The Finnish company Enso was founded in 1872 as the sawmill “W. Gutzeit & Co ”and has been called“ Enso-Gutzeit ” since 1924 after the industrial town of Enso (today Swetogorsk ). In 1997 "Enso" took over the German paper company E. Holtzmann .
The Austrian Schweighofer wood industry emerged from a family business that dates back to 1642. Gerald Schweighofer turned it into one of the largest sawing companies in Europe in the 1990s. In October 1998, Stora, Enso and Holzindustrie Schweighofer merged to form Stora Enso, with the sawmills belonging to the Stora Enso Timber division. At the time of the merger, Stora Enso was the world's largest paper group with sales of 60 billion Finnmark and a production capacity of 12,700 tons. In September 2001 Stora Enso Timber took over the 26% share from Holzindustrie Schweighofer.
In 2004 the Polish Intercell Group was taken over. Stora Enso now owns another packaging ( kraft paper ) plant in Poland. In 2006, Papyrus , the paper and packaging wholesaling arm of Stora Enso, took over the German Schneidersöhne group, making Stora Enso the second largest paper retailer in Europe. At the end of April 2008, Stora Enso sold 100% of Papyrus to the Swedish financial investment company Altor . The sales agreement also included a long-term paper supply agreement between Stora Enso and Papyrus.

environment
Stora Enso's wood purchasing organization (Forestproducts / Wood Supply Division) and most of the factories are PEFC and / or FSC certified. In addition, a system was introduced for the proof of origin of the wood used, which is also honored by its customers (for example Axel Springer Verlag). In Germany, over 70% of the wood used comes from PEFC or FSC-certified forestry. The German paper mills process u. a. Wood from Germany and France. Pulp comes from the plantations in Latin America in increasing quantities. Here Stora Enso works together with the environmental organization to establish certification standards.
Stora Enso and the Finnish companies UPM-Kymmene and Metsä-Serla keep making headlines because, as a major customer of the Finnish national forest, they purchase wood from forests that have been classified as primeval forests by environmental non-governmental organizations and their use conflicts with local residents Sami and reindeer herding. As long as this wood is processed in pulp mills, it can also find its way into products for the German market.
