In a today's global economy, a small sized paper mill far from export harbors is doomed. Over the last thirty years there has been an ongoing slaughter of such mills while the larger units here in Sweden with favourable locations are now approaching 1 million metric tons of annual output of pulp and/or paper products.
Although located in a very scenic area, this one just offers a depressing sight which on top of a spectacular bankruptcy also was partly devastated by a fire (how strange, eh?). Loads of stuff and scrap has just been left to rust and slowly deteriorate as small trees makes their way up through the concrete and tarmac. It is somewhat puzzling that advanced machinery and valuable scrap (given today’s scrap prices) does not appear to have any value and that it have just been trashed. But, presumably due to its low capacity, the second-hand market for this kind of equipment is not there.
