Stora Enso is a Finnish–Swedish renewable materials company focused on fiber-based packaging, biomaterials, and engineered wood. It converts sustainably sourced wood into pulp, containerboard and cartonboard, and wood products for packaging, consumer goods, and industrial uses, and is transitioning its portfolio away from traditional paper toward higher-value packaging and bio-based materials.
For the chemical value chain, Stora Enso supplies market pulp and advanced wood-derived biomaterials, including lignin (Lineo) for adhesives, resins, and carbon materials, wood-fiber biocomposites, and recyclable barrier and coating solutions for food and beverage packaging. Its R&D targets fossil-free alternatives, such as lignin-based hard carbon for battery anodes and other cellulose- and hemicellulose-derived chemistries that enable plastic and fossil replacement.
The company operates production primarily in Europe with a global sales network. It emphasizes certified wood sourcing, design for recyclability, and lowering lifecycle emissions across its products. Stora Enso is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki and Nasdaq Stockholm.
