Mondi enters into consultation with employee representatives about proposed
closure of recycled container board mill in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic
Mondi confirms that it completed the transaction to acquire Duropack's
operations on 5 November 2012.
Mondi further confirms that it has entered into consultations with employees
and their representatives about the proposed closure of the one hundred
thousand tonne recycled containerboard mill in Ceske Budejovice, Czech
Republic. The decision comes as a result of deteriorating market conditions in
the European containerboard market and increased competition which has impacted
the mill's ability to remain competitive. Total closure costs are estimated to
be under EUR3m.
The Group's strategy is to focus on further developing its leading market
position in corrugated packaging in the Czech Republic and emerging Europe.
Mondi will take all reasonable action to support affected employees including
providing an outplacement programme and will keep employees, customers and
other stakeholders informed of the process.
