Sappi: Consultations regarding future of Nijmegen mill
To return its European operations to profitability, Sappi has undertaken a review of its European production assets and has identified the need to concentrate its production at fewer sites. Exhaustive analysis has indicated that the preferred option would be to relocate the entire production of Nijmegen Mill to other Sappi mills in Europe.
The aim of this action would be to optimise Sappi’s entire Heat Set Web Offset (HSWO) business. In order to identify possible alternatives for the future of the Nijmegen Mill, Sappi Fine Paper Europe (SFPE) has initiated a process of consultations with its Nijmegen Mill employee representatives and social partners as well as the works council.
Should the relocation go ahead, SFPE capacity for WFC reels would reduce by 240,000 t/y. The mill currently employs 192 people.
