Stora Enso Oyj - Company Announcement

Stora Enso further curtails production in Wood Products

As already announced in connection with the Group's third quarter 2007 results, 
market conditions remain difficult in Wood Products due to the temporary        
oversupply and high inventories in its main markets. Deliveries and prices for  
wood products are depressed, so the profitability of this segment in the fourth 
quarter of 2007 is expected to be significantly lower than in the fourth quarter
of 2006.                                                                        

In response to these conditions, Stora Enso is now further increasing its       
curtailments of production of sawnwood and glue-laminated posts and beams in    
Austria, the Baltic States and Finland in the fourth quarter of 2007 and early  
2008. The target temporary curtailment is about 120 000 m3 in glue-laminated    
products and about 500 000 m3 in mainly whitewood sawnwood.
