Ahlstrom, a sustainable fibre-based speciality materials company, has confirmed its decision to divest the Aspa pulp mill in Sweden for an undisclosed amount.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This move is part of Ahlstrom\u2019s strategic shift towards enhancing its presence in the sustainable speciality materials market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deal, signed with Sweden Timber, includes the pulp mill and all its operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahlstrom has already implemented a strategic transformation programme to simplify its divisional structure to accelerate growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company is reducing its number of divisions from five to three to support the ongoing strategy execution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July this year, Ahlstrom decided to move ahead with the closure<\/a> of its plant in Bousbecque, France.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
