About Braviken Paper Mill

Braviken paper mill is one of the world's most production-efficient paper mills. With advanced technology, we refine the Swedish forest into innovative specialty papers used for magazines, books, direct mail, and packaging. We employ nearly 400 staff and hire about 80 summer workers each year, all with a strong desire to do a good job and contribute to a greener future. Here, we have close access to knowledgeable and engaged colleagues, and our workplace is characterized by both competence and community. The mill is beautifully located by the shore of Bråviken 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 each other, whether walking in the aisles or on the roads when driving a truck. If you take the initiative and want to develop, there is the opportunity for varied work” – Alexandra, former summer worker
