Heinzel Group Plans Job Cuts at Corrugated Case Material and Kraft Paper Mills Amid Market Challenges

Heinzel Group has announced plans to reduce jobs at its corrugated case material and kraft paper mills, reflecting ongoing market pressures in the European paper industry. The company faces declining demand and falling selling prices, especially for corrugated case materials and kraft paper, which have impacted profitability. The Raubling mill in Germany, producing recycled and mixed fiber kraft paper, is particularly affected as it has seen significant sales declines over recent years. Heinzel continues to invest in its facilities, including recent upgrades and expansions in Austria, to improve operational efficiency and focus on high-value sustainable products. Despite these measures, the workforce adjustments are necessary to align capacity with current market realities while maintaining competitiveness in a challenging global environment.
