UPM-Kymmene's new organization came into effect on 1 January 2002. The Group's consolidated financial information has been revised to reflect the new structure.
Financial reporting for UPM-Kymmene Paper Industry is divided between three divisions: Magazine Papers, Newsprint, and Fine and Speciality Papers. The Kaukas and Miramichi pulp mills belong to the Magazine Papers division, while the Kymi, Wisaforest and Tervasaari pulp mills are part of the Fine and Speciality Papers division. The net result for the pulp producer Metsä-Botnia, of which the Group owns 47%, will be reported under Other Operations.
Converting Industry comprises units manufacturing self-adhesive labelstock (Raflatac), siliconized release materials (Loparex), wrappings and composite materials (Walki Wisa) and vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging films (Walki Films).
