Description
Aldipress, the Dutch magazine distribution company and subsidiary of Sanoma, will cut 131 jobs when it ceases its operations in Duiven.
According to the source, Sanoma has decided to close the Aldipress distribution centre and outsource its distribution activities to Media Logistics. This restructuring is a result of the decline in the sale of magazines in the Netherlands and is part of a larger restructuring at Sanoma. The ERM previously reported on restructuring at Sanoma in the Netherlands in 2013.
