Description

Schweitzer Mauduit, an American paper company, has announced that it will close its cigarette paper factory in Vaucluse in southern France. Two years ago the company launched a restructuring plan at its Vaucluse site with the aim of improving financial situation. However, a recent decline in sales has forced the group to close the factory.
