Valmet<\/a>, a supplier of technologies and automation services for the pulp and paper industry, has concluded the change negotiations within the Board and Paper Mills business unit in Finland.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The discussions, which began on 5 September 2024<\/a>, were aimed at enhancing the profitability, as well as the competitiveness, of the Paper unit\u2019s operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The business unit has been developing and delivering board and paper-making lines and technologies across the globe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valmet\u2019s negotiations encompassed approximately 1,300 employees, exclusively targeting those within the Board and Paper Mills segment.<\/p>\n

No other divisions or employees from the broader Paper business line were involved in these talks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a result of the negotiations, Valmet will see the termination of 112 positions, which it says is lower than the initially estimated reduction of 200 roles when the negotiation started.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
