Information About

Husum, Sweden




The Husum Sulfate Paper Mill and Pulp Mill is the main employer in the area, and has been a significant influence on the town since it was founded in 1919 by Mo Och Domsjö AB ("MoDo" for short, see also MODO Hockey ). M-Real Corporation of Finland (then known as Metsä-Serla) acquired the mill in 2000.

Situated close to both the ocean and the mountains, Husum has two rivers (Husån and Gideälven) flowing into town. It was a perfect location for a sawmill, bringing timber to the mill by floating them downstream. This sawmill was the origin of the current paper and pulp mill. Husum is very close to the regional airport at Gideå, and a new station for Botniabanan has just been built close to the center of town.
