The Polish mill MM Kwidzyn announced last week that it has completed the consultation process with trade unions and works councils. The company has taken the decision on the closure of the packaging kraft paper machine (PM3).
As a result of this decision, the production of packaging kraft paper IPACK™ ESSENTIAL, IPACK™ BROWN, IPACK™ ULTRA will be discontinued. The last production run on PM3 will take place early January 2024.
MM Kwidzyn will continue to produce pulp and virgin-fibre based board (FBB). Regarding the paper production, paper machines PM1 and PM2 will continue to produce Uncoated Fine Paper and IPACK™ Strong Pro (Packaging Kraft Paper).
This is a difficult situation both for the employees affected by the change and for the entire workforce, and the company says every effort will be made to find optimal solutions and to limit the extent of the impact on the employees as much as possible.
