The production at Kaskinen mill ended in March 2009. Metsä Botnia has concluded a preliminary sales agreement with an Asian buyer for parts of the machinery of the mill. If the agreement will be finalized, the dismantling of the machinery will be commenced at the beginning of August.The buyer's subcontractor will be in charge of the dismantling, and as part of the project also some of the existing buildings will be demolished. The buildings that will be torn down are not well suited for other activities than process industry.The dismantling project will take a little more than one year, and at the peak there will be approximately 80 persons working at the site, mostly employed by the buyer's subcontractor. Botnia's part employs in addition to present project staff three to four persons on a temporary basis and some subcontractors.
