In May, UPM Communication Papers announced plans to permanently close its Hürth newsprint mill and shutdown of one fine papermachine at Nordland Papier in Dörpen (PM3). Both mills are located in Germany.

The respective participation processes with the employee representatives have now been concluded. The number of positions affected is 338. Graphic paper production in Hürth is expected to end on 31 August 2024 and at Nordland Papier PM3 latest by the end of 2024, resulting in annual reductions of 330,000 tonnes of newsprint paper capacity and 280,000 tonnes of uncoated fine paper capacity.
