Ahlstrom announces the closure of its Bousbecque plant in France
HELSINKI, July 28, 2024-
In April 2024, Ahlstrom initiated a consultation process with employee representatives on the possibility to divest or close the Bousbecque plant in France and to centralize parchment paper production to its Saint-Séverin plant, also in France, to ensure the long-term future and competitiveness of the parchment paper business.
Despite an active search and in-depth dialogue with local stakeholders, Ahlstrom has been unable to find solutions that would allow the Group or a potential buyer to continue operating the Bousbecque plant. As a result, Ahlstrom will proceed with the closure of the plant. The plant has an annual capacity of approximately 12,000 tons and employs 117 people. Ahlstrom continues to explore options to divest the property.
