Paperboard producer Schuster Karton, headquartered in Herbertshausen, will dismiss 115 employees by the end of August 2016 due to bankruptcy of the company. Continued declines in sales and an increasingly fierce competition caused insolvency. Schuster Karton has been negotiating with several investors, however, none of the potential buyers was prepared to or capable of guaranteeing the continuation of the site and employment of the workforce. However, the Federal Employment Agency is optimistic about the new job placement as the region has one of the best labour market in Germany. Executive board and works council are currently negotiating a social plan including severance payments.
