UPM to close down the Albbruck paper mill and transfer the sheeting lines to Plattling

UPM will permanently close down the unprofitable Albbruck paper mill in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The discussions between UPM, the employee representatives and local authorities did not lead to a solution for continuing the operations at the mill. Neither was the search for an investor successful. The closure of the mill is affecting the 508 employees of the mill. The personnel reductions will take place on 31 January 2012.
