ArjoWiggins Closing Detail; 100M mt, Denmark

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.
