 PROFILE
Norske Skogindustrier (Norske Skog) is betting the Internet won't soon replace magazines and newspapers. Following the acquisition of New Zealand-based Fletcher Challenge Paper in 2000, Norske Skog now has the capacity to produce almost 6 million tons of paper a year and has become the second largest newsprint manufacturer in the world (behind Canada's Abitibi-Consolidated). Norske Skog also makes kraft pulp. The company has paper mills in 13 countries on five continents; Europe accounts for about half of its sales. Norwegian forest owners' associations own 25% of Norske Skog.
