History
Folla Bruk AS traditionally owned 170 square kilometers (66 sq mi) of land in the old Verran Municipality, including 50 square kilometers (19 sq mi) of productive forest. A pulp mill was established at Follafoss in 1908. In 1919, the company was bought by Nord-Trøndelag County Municipality. In 1982, the company was sold cheaply to Bjørn Lyng. In 1988, the plant was sold to Norske Skog. Norske Skog sold the plant to Södra in 2000. The current plant was taken into use 1984. In 2007, the power company Nord-Trøndelag Elektrisitetsverk, owned by Nord-Trøndelag County Municipality, was investigated by the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) for illegal subsidizing Södra Cell Folla with cheap electricity.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “FollaCell”, the useful work is to connect “pulp mill in Norway” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7666366. The first chronological checks are 1908, 1919, 1982 and 1988.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
