In 2022, the Skogn mill produced more than 500,000 tonnes of newsprint. Measured in meters of newsprint produced per employee, the mill reached a new all-time high production record.
With half a million tonnes of newsprint produced by Norske Skog Skogn’s three paper machines, 2022 was a record year in the mill’s 57-year-old history.

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