Description

On 24 October 2017, the Finnish paper manufacturer UPM Paper ENA, announced to cut 223 jobs at its site in Dörpen due to internal restructuring, which will save up to €30 million annually. These measures are necessary because demand for graphic papers has been declining over recent years and will continue declining.

Management and works council will start negotiations in November. However, no time frame has yet been announced regarding further actions.

UPM Paper ENA has 1,600 employees in Dörpen.
