Ahlstrom Corporation PRESS RELEASE December 19, 2014 at 9.25
Ahlstrom's employee negotiations completed in Kauttua
Ahlstrom, a high performance fiber-based materials company, announces that it
has completed the co-operation negotiations with employee representatives at its
Kauttua production line in Finland. The conclusion of the negotiations is to
close down the production line in Kauttua during the second quarter of 2015.
The Kauttua plant manufactures base paper for masking tape. As there is
significant overcapacity globally in the masking tape markets, especially in
Europe, Ahlstrom has sought ways to improve the efficiency of its masking tape
business. Ahlstrom manufactures base paper for masking tape also in Pont-
Audemer, France and Longkou, China. The consolidation of the company's masking
tape production is part of the earlier announced rightsizing program.
The Kauttua production line is part of Ahlstrom's Food business area and it
employs 21 people, whose employment will be terminated as the line will be
closed down. The company will make every effort to support the employees
affected.
