Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive wages and benefits .. Flexible schedule in certain positions.

Cons

Printing papers which is UPM's main product is under pressure from declining magazine and catalog printing. Consolidation and mill closures haven't kept up with the decrease in demand. Other pressures are from lower cost production in Asia Pacific. Supply / Demand pushes prices down and paper manufacturing is capital intensive industry.
