Product Manager, Formed Fiber

Stora Enso's company vision is summarized as "Everything that’s made with fossil-based materials today can be made from a tree tomorrow". This ethos of substituting plastics with renewable materials applies in full to Stora Enso's new business unit Formed Fiber.
Formed Fiber materials are based on wood fibers and can be produced to most 3d shapes with many of the same mechanical and functional properties as plastics and so provides a novel and powerful vehicle for displacing plastics. In the last two years alone, Formed Fiber has substituted hundreds of millions of plastic components in the consumer electronics and food service markets. We are now seeing interest in Formed Fiber spread to a much wider field of applications where the market potential is counted in billions of units. The goals of the Formed Fiber team is to capitalize on this opportunity by quickly scaling up capacity, research new technologies and commercialize new applications to become a leader in this market.
Stora Enso has made a strong commitment to Formed Fiber by investing in a new Formed Fiber plant and the formation of this new business unit. The job of the Product Manager will be to navigate this exciting field and help focus our efforts for maximum impact.
