President and CEO Tuomas Hallenberg began leading Stora Enso’s planned forest asset company in January 2026 as the company prepares to spin off the business through a demerger expected to be completed in the first half of 2027. CEO Hallenberg previously served as EVP of Stora Enso’s forest business area. He has also held senior roles at Metsähallitus, Finland’s state-owned forest company, and UPM. 

Stora Enso is a Finland-based provider of renewable materials focused on packaging and fiber-based solutions. The new forest asset company is intended to become Europe’s largest listed pure-play forest company once the demerger is completed.
