Stora Enso is the biggest customer of Finnish governmental forestry enterprise Metsähallitus. In January 2007 a Metsähallitus truck carrying old-growth forest wood from the nearby similar logging sites in Jooseppitunturi was followed to Stora Enso pulp mill in Kemijärvi. Pulp from Kemijärvi is used in Stora Enso´s Veitsiluoto paper mill, where the old-growth forest is processed into magazine papers, envelopes and copy paper.
