The Favini group, a paper manufacturing company, announced on 25 January 2008 the bankruptcy of Favini Apeldoorn, with the loss of 100 jobs. The reason of this restructuring is attributed to oversupply of paper and high energy costs. The loss of 225 jobs at the plant in Meersen is not confirmed yet.
