All 375 employees, including apprentices, at Norske Skog Skogn will receive a substantial bonus for their excellent performance. 

Last week, everyone at Norske Skog Skogn was invited to celebrate their joint success. 

“We’ve been running at full steam for the entire 2022. Our competent and highly valued employees and their strong dedication made this achievable,” says production manager Knut Erik Norøy.
