Sappi: definitive end for "Papieri"
The paper mill in Biberist, Solothurn, is closing permanently. Despite intensive efforts, officials said they were unable to find a buyer.
According to the owner Sappi, a total of around 550 employees will lose their jobs. The redundancy letters were sent out on Wednesday. A social plan has been agreed with the trade unions. The factory will continue to operate until the end of August. After that, the production of uncoated paper will also be discontinued. However, the South African Sappi Group intends to continue its search for a new owner for "Papieri". There are no plans yet for the factory site. (SDA)
