Description
Duni, a Swedish manufacturer of products for table settings and accessories, is to let go of 110 employees in an effort to improve profitability. Duni will close one of the three production units of its subsidiary Rexcell Tissue & Airlaid in Skåpafors, which currently employs 330 people. The unit, which focuses on hygiene products, is said to be not profitable and profitability is not thought to improve in the foreseeable future.
It is estimated that the unit will be fully closed during the first quarter of 2014.
Duni has about 1,900 employees in 17 countries. The company headquarters are in Malmö and the production units are in Sweden, Germany and Poland.
