Unannounced inspection at Metsä Group's tissue paper mill in Kreuzau, Germany

The German Federal Cartel office has today started an inspection on Metsä Tissue, a subsidiary of Metsä Group, related to hygiene papers.

Metsä Tissue cooperates with the authority.

The fact that the Cartel office carries out such inspections does not mean that the company is guilty of anti-competitive behavior nor does it prejudge the outcome of the investigation itself.

 Metsä Group has its roots in the Finnish forests: our parent company Metsäliitto Cooperative is owned by over 90,000 forest owners.
