The mill is beautifully located by the shores of Bråviken, just outside Norrköping.
"Holmen is a company I am proud to say I have worked for. The colleagues are always friendly and greet you when you meet in the aisles or on the roads while driving a forklift. If you take the initiative and want to develop, there are opportunities for varied work." – Alexandra, former seasonal worker
