Recently, PM3 at our Sappi Kirkniemi mill marked an impressive milestone: 30 years since producing its first reel.

Over the past three decades, PM3 has grown into one of the world's most efficient paper machine lines, demonstrating what can be achieved through continuous improvement, innovation and the dedication of our people.

Throughout changing markets, investments, modernisations and evolving customer needs, PM3 has continued to adapt and perform. Its success is built on a strong commitment to safety, quality and performance, as well as the expertise and teamwork of the people behind it every day.

While we celebrate a remarkable technical achievement, this milestone is ultimately about people. We recognise and thank the generations of employees, partners and support teams whose knowledge, commitment and passion have helped shape PM3's success story.

Congratulations to our colleagues at Kirkniemi on this significant anniversary. We are proud of what has been accomplished over the past 30 years and look forward to building on this legacy in the years ahead.

As we look ahead to the fourth quarter, we remain focused on disciplined ex*****on in a market that continues to evolve.

The margin initiatives implemented during the third quarter, together with the benefits of our strategic rationalisation programme, provide a stronger platform for the months ahead.

While demand across some paper markets remains subdued and broader economic uncertainty persists, our focus remains on operational efficiency, customer partnerships and creating long-term value.

The third quarter demonstrated the value of disciplined ex*****on.

Despite continued structural demand decline in graphic papers and ongoing pressure across packaging and speciality papers markets, Sappi Europe improved profitability through strategic rationalisation, fixed cost savings and operational efficiencies.

By maintaining margin management while focusing on operational excellence, we continue to strengthen the resilience of our business as market conditions gradually improve.

In a fast-changing world of work, the likes of AI and the green transition are setting new challenges to young people taking their first steps in employment.

At Sappi Europe, we’re happy to be able to count on a future-focused workforce keen to pass on the skills required to thrive in this new environment.

On World Youth Skills Day, we’re celebrating the hundreds of young people who join us each year as apprentices at our mills across Europe.

They’re taking the first step in their working lives by joining innovative Sappi skills programmes covering everything from electrical engineering and industrial mechanics to HR.

And as you can see, they're already making their mark with their energy and commitment.

In our working lives at Sappi, nothing is more important than staying safe. That’s why right across our regions we’ve just spent a whole month talking about the subject and celebrating Global Safety Awareness Month.

Teams all across Europe have enthusiastically joined in with activities ranging from safety demonstrations and training sessions to webinars, competitions and quizzes.

Our Sappi Alfeld GmbH Mill team introduced a new approach bringing safety even closer to employees this year: activity stations located along the main entrance were set up as easily accessible points of interaction and communication.

"The best place to talk about safety and health is where the work actually happens,” says Ferdinand Koster, Mill Director of Sappi Alfeld. During this month’s festivities the mill received a well deserved Safety Milestone Gold Award celebrating reaching one million hours without a lost-time injury!

It’s been a packed month, filled with finding ways to stay mindful of safety at all times and on every single day of the year.

Because for each and every one of us at Sappi, “Safety starts with me.”

What does “Safety Starts With Me” means to you?

Think about your daily working life. Now think about one simple behaviour that could make your day that little bit safer…

At Sappi Europe, as part our Safety Awareness Month, that’s exactly what we’ve all been doing.

And we asked Condino and Carmignano Mill Director Pierluigi Masi, Sappi Alfeld GmbH Mill Director Ferdinand Koster, Sappi Kirkniemi Mill Director Jari Nikkinen, Sappi Maastricht BV Mill Director Kobe Goorts, Sappi Gratkorn Mill Director Martti Savelainen, and Ehingen Mill Director Maik Willig to answer a simple question.

What is one behaviour that helps everyone go home safe?

This month, across all our regions, Sappi colleagues are joining in with a range of activities and events focused on something truly essential.

June is our Safety Awareness Month, and at Sappi, we believe “Safety starts with me”.

But focusing on safety also means thinking about what isn’t safe.

So what kinds of unsafe behaviours can, all too easily, creep into our working days?

We asked Sappi Kirkniemi Mill Director Jari Nikkinen, Sappi Alfeld GmbH Mill Director Ferdinand Koster, Sappi Maastricht BV Kobe Goorts and Sappi Europe’s VP of Manufacturing, Technology and R&D Misa Bursac to give us one unsafe behaviour we should all eliminate…

In our working lives at Sappi, nothing is more important than staying safe. That’s why every June we spend a whole month talking about the subject across our regions.

For this year’s Safety Awareness Month, we quizzed Sappi Europe's VP of Manufacturing, Technology and R&D Misa Bursac alongside several of our mill directors about some vital aspects of safety in Europe.

Listen to what Kirkniemi Mill Director Jari Nikkinen, Carmignano and Condino Mill Director Pierluigi Masi, Maastricht Mill Director Kobe Goorts and Gratkorn Mill Director Martti Savelainen have to say about what motivates them to act safely – and the one thing they would never compromise on…

Our colleagues at our Sappi Kirkniemi Mill have been getting busy this spring actively supporting their local community.

Led by mill director Jari Nikkinen, a team from across the mill took part in the municipality of Lohja’s community clean-up campaign – going out onto the roads surrounding the site to track down and pick up litter.

The mill also hosted a friendly basketball match against Lou Basket Unified, a local team that brings together young people with special support needs.

For the past 14 years, employees at Sappi Kirkniemi have donated part of their continuous improvement bonus to support children and young people in the local Lohja community who need extra support – including the members of Lou Basket Unified.

With ages ranging from 12 to 29, the Lou Basket Unified team ran out 60-48 winners over the Sappi Kirkniemi team on the day – with our with our Mill Controller Janne Huuskonen keeping score (something he does for Finnish basketball top-level team Salon Vilpas). 🏀

Activities like these reflect the strong relationship between our Kirkniemi Mill and the local Lohja community – and the commitment of our employees to making a positive contribution beyond the mill gates.
