As a part of the operational review and EUR 25 million fixed cost saving program, Metsä Tissue starts co-determination negotiations also in the Operations. The aim is to improve internal efficiency, focus and reduce complexity in Tissue Business.
Planned restructuring can lead to organizational changes, such as job changes or redundancies.
Co-determination negotiations in Operations will commence in May 2019 in compliance with labour-laws in each country. Estimated reduction is approximately 110 in total. Based on local negotiations in different countries more accurate plans will be released. Cost savings program will be finalized during the second half of 2019.
Greaseproof Papers and Stotzheim Operations are not included in the above mentioned co-determination negotiations.
