New management for Holmen Paper and Holmen Energi

Holmen is reorganising its management teams in two of the Group's
business areas. This will also affect the composition of Group
management.

Arne Wallin, head of the Holmen Paper business area, will take up the
equivalent role in the Holmen Energi business area. The new head of
Holmen Paper will be the business area's current marketing director,
Henrik Sjölund.

   “Holmen Energi will be focusing on several new areas, including wind
power and biofuels. To be successful, we need to strengthen our
competence in preparation for the major projects that are in the
pipeline. Arne 
    Wallin has many years of experience of both major investment
projects and advanced business negotiations,” says Magnus Hall,
President and CEO, Holmen.

  “With his solid knowledge of the major market challenges faced by the
printing paper industry, Henrik Sjölund will be a force to be reckoned
with at Holmen Paper. He will also be a welcome addition to Group  
    management.”

Henrik Sjölund will be succeeded as marketing director of Holmen Paper
by Nils Ringborg, who is currently responsible for recovered paper
purchasing at Holmen Paper and managing director of the part-owned paper
recovery company PÅAB.

Brynolf Alexandersson, currently head of Holmen Energi, will be taking
on the role of production manager in the same business area.

   “Brynolf Alexandersson did an extraordinary job during the first
phase of development, but it's now natural for someone else to take the
helm,” says Magnus Hall.

All changes are applicable as of 15 September.
