M-real has now finalised the consultation process for the closure of its Alizay pulp mill in France.
The plan, first announced announced on 16 December 2009, is a part of the EUR 80 million profit improvement programme for the year 2010. At the same time, M-real initiated the information and consultation process concerning the possible permanent shutdown of the pulp mill.
The pulp mill will be permanently closed and it will involve a reduction of maximum 89 vacancies.
“The final closure of the Alizay pulp mill is a very important profit improvement measure for M-real. We will continue measures to improve the Alizay paper mill’s profitability,” says Mikko Helander, CEO of M-real.
