Product Manager Industrially Packed Food

Are you an experienced Product Manager ready for new challenges? Do you want to help rid the world of single use plastics? If yes, Stora Enso’s Formed Fiber unit is growing and we are looking for individuals passionate about making packaging more sustainable.
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. We are now seeing interest in Formed Fiber spread to a large number of applications where the market potential is counted in billions of units. The goal of the Formed Fiber team is to capitalise on this opportunity by quickly scaling up capacity, research new technologies and commercialize new applications to become a leader in this market. Stora Enso is investing strongly in the Formed Fiber unit, most recent example being the start of preparations for a large-scale expansion of the existing Hylte production facility. #FormedFiberGrows
