Arjowiggins
Graphic is announcing its intent to stop production at the Dalum paper mill
located at Odense Denmark before the end of the year.
The
Odense site is currently operating a 100MT capacity paper machine. The whole
paper production will be transferred to the other paper mills of the
Arjowiggins Graphic division. The full paper range produced by the Dalum paper
mill will be maintained within Arjowiggins' portfolio and customers will be
offered the same quality and service.
The
European Graphic demand has been structurally reducing at an annual rate of 6%
since a few years, generating over capacity within the European graphic paper
industry. The planned closure of the Dalum paper mill will contribute to the
necessary capacity adjustment of the industry and allow the optimization of the
capacity utilization of the Arjowiggins Graphic division.
