The alarm about a fire at the sawmill came during the night towards Sunday. No one was injured and it is currently unclear how the fire started.
Paul Björnsson is CEO of Stockhult Group AB, which owns the sawmills in Kalix and Glommersträsk.
– Total devastation. Everything is destroyed. Building, machines, everything, says Paul Björnsson.
Staff are offered to work in Glommersträsk
It is unclear how much financial damage the fire means to the company. But parts of the production will now be moved to the sawmill in Glommersträsk, 23 kilometers away, where operations will now shift up.
– We will offer staff to be with Glommersträsk in the short term.
Paul Björnsson says that the plan is to rebuild the sawmill in Kalix.
