Description
Klippan will close down its paper production unit in Mölndal and cut 300 jobs. Only the paperboard unit, which employs 40 people, will be maintained in Mölndal. The paper production will be relocated to the company's plants in Klippan and Lessebo. The implementation of the redundancy plan will cost some 150 millions SEK and is expected to lead to a decrease in fixed charges of 300 millions SEK per year.
